Nurturing Play and Beyond: Middle Years Child Care Fundamentals Principles & Practices

Introducing ‘Nurturing Play and Beyond‘ – a comprehensive online hybrid course created by early childhood educators for early childhood educators, school age educators, ECE assistants and those with responsible adult training.

This program is free for participants. We ask that participants engage and provide feedback.

This course aims to bridge the gap in access to holistic, comprehensive training and learning opportunities for educators working with middle years children in school age child care programs across the Province of British Columbia.

Participants will delve into nine meticulously designed modules, inspired by the BC Early Learning Framework, trauma-informed practice, and guidance from subject matter experts in child care and education. These modules are crafted to promote inclusive, high-quality, and holistic childcare.

Nurturing Play and Beyond is a partnership between the school age child care association of BC, the BC Early Years Professional Development Hub and is funded by the Government of Canada and the Province of British Columbia.
