Child development practitioners plan activities for preschool and school-age children that stimulate their intellectual, physical, and emotional growth. They may care for infants and toddlers or develop and supervise daily activities for older children. They lead children in activities such as reading stories, singing, playing instruments, doing crafts, and other creative games. They must also keep informed about new teaching methods and childcare developmental theories.
