10 Reasons to Choose Quality Early Learning and Child Care

Expert knowledge Early childhood educators are experts in child development and are trained to create inspiring learning environments!

Intentionality Early childhood educators provide your child the gift of time and attention. They will stop and explore the new flowers or jump in the mud puddles with your child.

Young at heart Early childhood educators know how to have fun! They’re not afraid to be silly and laugh with your child; all while nurturing your child’s creativity and helping to build their self-confidence.

Setting limits Every child needs reasonable boundaries, such as no playing ball inside. Early childhood educators set limits and support families in doing the same.

Love of literacy Early childhood educators read and tell stories, sing songs, and do puppet shows to inspire a love of language and to build early literacy skills.

Confidence boost Early childhood educators provide safe opportunities for your child to be independent and to become confident in their personality and decision making skills.

Inspired learning Early childhood educators ask open-ended questions to inspire creative thought and curiosity, to encourage children to explore, and to make learning fun.

Life skills Early childhood educators use their expertise to develop programs that use play as a tool for teaching math, literacy, science and essential life skills that last for life!

Making friends Early childhood educators are educated to appropriately support children to gain social skills, which are so important in making friends and developing positive relationships!

Helping hand Everyone gets stumped by parenting from time to time - juggling schedules, demands, and behaviours. When it gets tough and you need someone to talk to, reach out to your child’s early childhood educator!

Event: Growing your Facilitation Skills—Series

Growing your Facilitation Skills - Part 1 of 3

Approved for 6 hours of ongoing PD (2 hours each session)

PLEASE NOTE - This is the first evening of a mandatory 3 part training session.

Description: Have you been called upon to facilitate a learning opportunity for your staff, colleagues, parents or members of the community in connection to your role as an early childhood educator? Perhaps you’ve attended a meeting or learning opportunity and thought “I could do this too” or “I have something to offer because of my experience”. Perhaps you hesitated because you were not confident to be the facilitator or did not feel you knew how to be effective in working with adults. If any of this sounds like you or you are looking for help with something you have booked to facilitate in the near future - consider this your invitation to join a group of fellow early childhood educators for this 3 part Facilitation learning series
