Sounds from an infant-toddler classroom

What does an infant-toddler classroom sound like when the children are focused and engaged in their work and activities? Let’s listen to some sounds from this infant-toddler classroom.

This was recorded in one of the infant-toddler classrooms at the rbKids child care program several years ago. At the time, many of the classrooms were working on a project that involved making audio recordings in the classrooms. The rbKids program is a workplace based child care that operates several infant-toddler classrooms as well as a group 30 months to school entry and multi-age child care program. It is based in Burnaby, BC.

Jane Boyd was the main child care consultant who worked with the planning and design team for the project. She also consulted on the initial 5 years of operation of the program.
