A computer is necessary for all WCCRC online lessons. Smartphones or tablets should not be used.

When playing the videos, the system defaults to ‘auto’ to detect the best quality for the bandwidth detected. However, if you have low Internet speeds and the video is slow to buffer, you may wish to manually choose a lower quality option. You can adjust the quality via the gear icon below the video screen.

It is your responsibility to have equipment that is in proper working order. If your session ends unexpectedly, please log back in.

You can speed up the video by clicking on the gear icon.

You must click on “Mark Complete” at the end of each lesson, module, and quiz.

The videos will stop periodically to give you time to answer reflection questions. Keep these in a physical notebook, Word document, or other program of your choice.

These questions are a good opportunity to consider areas that could be improved in your program and practice. 

All of the information from the lessons is contained in our Knowledge Base, which is available for free.

You will need to complete all modules and get 80% or higher on all quizzes to receive a certificate. 

Course Policies

By registering for a workshop/course, participants declare they have read, understood and agree with all policies.

  • I have a good computer with working Internet connection. I understand that it is strongly recommended to not use a smartphone to take these courses. 
  • I have read through the FAQs. 
  • I am aware that this course requires self-guided learning (e.g., watching the video modules, proactively taking notes).

Our Land Acknowledgment​

The partners of The Hub respectfully honor the sovereignty of all Indigenous Nations, including their lands, waters, and skies. We recognize that these lands are sacred and acknowledge the deep and enduring relationships between Indigenous peoples and their territories, which have been disrupted by oppressive colonial systems.


We further acknowledge that the partners and participants of The Hub gather on the traditional, unceded, and unsurrendered lands of the Indigenous peoples who have stewarded these territories since time immemorial. These ancestral lands were taken without consent, and we recognize the injustices of this history.


In taking responsibility to honor these nations and their legacies, and with a commitment to forging a better path forward, we celebrate the strength, resilience, and wisdom of Indigenous communities—past, present, and future.

Scenario-based learning allows learners to view situations from different perspectives, encouraging thoughtful reflection. Applying learning in a more practical way can help to build confidence and gives the learner the ability to transfer knowledge to real-life work. You will see how best practices might look in action, determine alternate strategies you could implement in these situations, and reflect on your own experiences as a care provider.

Your task is to take on the perspective of the provider within the scenario and determine:

  • What worked well?
  • What, if anything, could be done differently?

Remember, it is not the job of providers to diagnose children. Instead, we can do our best to create safe childcare ecosystems that promote social emotional well-being and support children and their diverse range of behaviours. This will be important to keep in mind while navigating the scenarios in Module 4.
