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!

2016 ECDA Fall Conference: Pre-conference Day Details

June 30th, 2016


Pre-conference Day (Wednesday October 26th) 

This year we are offering two Pre-conference day workshops, one for directors and team leaders, the other for school-age educators.

FOR SCHOOL AGE EDUCATORS
Supportive Guidance for Challenging Behaviour in School Aged Children
with Jan Blaxall

In early years and elementary school settings, there are some children who struggle with strong emotions and self-regulation. While some of these children will have diagnosed special needs that require outside intervention, many more can learn to self-regulate with appropriate individual support and specific strategies. This session focuses on the principles of individualized approaches to supporting self-regulation that have worked for those who work with children from 4 to 8 years.

FOR DIRECTORS & TEAM LEADERS
Social and Emotional Learning:  A Foundation for Responding to Challenging Behavior 

with the GRIT Program

At a time when so much attention is placed on what the child is doing, what the child needs, and what the child or family ought to be doing, this full-day session will provide educators with an opportunity to reflect on their current practices and to build their skills, knowledge and confidence for responding to challenging behavior.  

Drawing upon evidence based practices from the Teaching Pyramid Model, particular emphasis will be on the universal strategies to build a strong foundation for “all” children, the intentional use of targeted social and emotional strategies for “some” children, as well as the collaborative teaming with families and other community supports to understand our role in responding to behavior that we view as challenging.
