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.
