According to Megan Gunnar, who specializes in the intersection of developmental psychology and neuroscience, a good early childhood caregiver “requires [the] capacity to analyze what’s happening in the moment” and determine what concept – whether a numerical concept, or one related to language or physics – the child could be learning. Responding “in the moment, dynamically, really takes analytic skills, executive function, ordering and sequencing, and knowing a lot of information.”
显然，早期儿童看护绝不仅仅是榨点果汁、做点饼干、督促睡觉和带去操场玩。 根据梅根·甘纳（Megan Gunnar，发育心理学和神经科学交叉专家）的说法，好的早期儿童看护师“需要分析此刻正在发生什么的能力”并确定什么概念——不管是数字概念还是与语言或物理相关的概念——是被看护儿童可以学习的。“在‘当是时’情形下，动态地”反应“真的需要分析技巧、执行能力、顺序和排位，并且知道大量信息。”
