This combo contains Infants, Toddlers, and Caregivers and The Caregiver's Companion.

Infants, Toddlers, and Caregivers is an ideal introduction to care and education in the first three years of life, featuring a respectful, cohesive approach inspired by Magda Gerber and Dr. Emmi Pikler, pioneers in what Gerber called “Educaring.” The text emphasizes the value of play and exploration, as well as giving careful attention to those caregiving times, when relationships grow and an abundance of learning occurs.

The Caregiver’s Companion is a collection of supplemental readings and resources to enhance understanding and use of the material in Infants, Toddlers, and Caregivers. The goal is to provide additional resources and support for the practical application of the material in Infants, Toddlers, and Caregivers.
