Online ECE Workshops for YOU!

Our Online ECE Workshops are created with the BC ECE Registry renewal requirements in mind. These state that Early Childhood Educators are required to complete 40 hours of professional development over the course of their certification term. (If you live in another part of Canada, it’s likely that our professional development certificates will be acceptable for your professional development hours.) Remember — you should keep track of your certificate expiry date so that you have enough time to finish the necessary professional development courses or programs. And you should choose courses or workshops that are relevant to working in the early childhood field – choose topics like:

  1. Child growth and development

  2. Child guidance

  3. Advocacy for children, families and the field

  4. History of early childhood education

  5. Self-care as related to supporting effective practice

  6. Development of program policies

  7. Addressing human resource issues

  8. Managing child care programs

  9. Maintaining children’s health, safety and nutrition

  10. Interpersonal communication

  11. Special needs

  12. Infant & toddler

All of the ECE Workshops that we offer have a direct connection to one or more of the topics listed above. Upon successful completion of an Online ECE Workshop, we will provide you with a certificate that you can use toward your 40 hours.

​

In this 2 hour ONLINE workshop, educators will explore what true self direction is for young children — right from the earliest of ages. Each educator will assess their own personal beliefs and philosophy about supporting independence within an early learning and care setting. Time will be taken to learn why encouraging independence really matters and how facilitating it can enhance both child, staff and parent interactions as well as overall program quality. The workshop group size is limited to 12 participants plus the instructor to ensure there is good opportunity to ask questions and for group discussions.
