From Maryland's site:
"The Core of Knowledge is
defined as theories and practices that are essential
for individuals working with children in family
child care homes and child care centers. The core of
knowledge is divided into six major areas;
|
Child Development |
Curriculum |
|
Health, Safety & Nutrition |
Professionalism |
|
Special Needs |
Community |
Training in the core of knowledge may be taken
across all age groups or in a specific age group -
infant/toddler, preschool or school-age. Training
may be taken from a Child Care Administration
approved trainer or an accredited college or
university. The six Core of Knowledge areas are
listed in a chart that follows with the information
that is included in each one. Each bulleted item
identifies the content of a workshop or a component
of a college class. Use this information to identify
the Core of Knowledge area under which any training
taken may be applied.
The hours in parenthesis indicates the number of
clock hours required to complete each Core of
Knowledge area."
