Welcome to the Behaviour in the Early Years online training! This course aims to create a shared understanding of children’s behaviours within child care communities. After completing the four modules, learners will be equipped with strategies to work with diverse groups and support all children and behaviours.
Each module has been developed following extensive research and collaboration with a diverse range of early childhood professionals, academics, and government partners. It has also been guided by the British Columbia Early Learning Framework (BCELF) and Indigenous Early Learning and Child Care Framework (IELCCF) to inspire inclusive child care programs across the province.
