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.

We’ve designed the lessons so you can apply them to your own program. When you’ve finished each video, simply answer the Reflection Question. You can save the Reflection Questions as a workbook, so you can download and use the notes to improve your program’s practices.

At the bottom of the screen, you’ll see a button that says “Print/Download.” When you hit that, a list of printers will come up. You can either print the document or select “Save to PDF”.

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

If you miss a session there will be no certificate of participation, refund or credit, and no transfer or ability to make up the course.

You can email us at AMCC@westcoastfamily.org or post your question in our discussion forum here

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, a place to plug the computer in, and adequate lighting so I can be seen on Zoom. I understand that I cannot use a smartphone to take these courses. 
  • I have read through the FAQs. 
  • I am aware that the session will begin and end promptly at the specified time. The instructor will plan activities for each session, to take full advantage of every minute that is available.
  • I will log on to both Zoom and the Learning Hub 10 minutes prior to the session, so that I am ready to go. 
  • I understand that I must attend the session to receive certification. 
  • I am aware that this course may require self-guided learning (e.g., watching the video modules, proactively taking notes) before, during or after the session.
  • I understand that as part of the course, I will be reviewing my program’s policies and procedures (if available), and will bring them to each session.
  • I will come to each session ready to learn, with a positive attitude. I understand that while participants may not always agree, it is essential that everyone has an equal chance to express their ideas and opinions.

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.
