Emerging Plan for Early Care and Learning in BC

Emerging Plan for Early Care and Learning in BC

Join us for a Webinar on November 12

Join us to learn about an innovative and exciting Emerging Plan to take the best from education and from child care to meet the needs of BC children, families and communities.

Our Emerging Plan offers a new and creative approach to how BC can and should integrate early care and learning. Highlights of the Emerging Plan include:
• A new home for all community and school based early care and learning programs for young children in the Ministry of Education.
• A new Early Care and Learning Act to enshrine the rights of young children to services that meet their developmental needs and the rights of families to access quality care and learning services.
• Early Care and Learning Plans developed by local Boards of Education with stakeholders involvement.
• Early Years Centres - an alternative, more appropriate approach than part day pre-Kindergarten - where young children participate in full or part time early care and learning programs while their families are at work, study or home.
• A process to integrate existing group and family child care and pre-school into Early Years Centres.
• An enhanced approach to Kindergarten and Grade 1 with ECEs joining teachers as part of the team.
• A workforce development plan that moves ECEs towards parity with teachers while respecting their unique expertise.
