Iowa Program for Infant Toddler Care (PITC)
Infants and toddlers must have caregivers who
respond to them, and provide a secure and nurturing setting. Without these, infants
do not have the power to explore - which is how they learn. Each PITC lesson has
key concepts that are always taught, although teaching methods and
activities will vary.
After July 1, 2007, participants who complete the first four modules and
have an on-site visit (with a recommendation of three visits) from the Infant Toddler Specialist will
receive a stipend of $250. Participants who complete Module V will
receive a stipend of $50. Contact
