Workshops |
We present workshops on a regular basis on topics related to early childhood education, children and families. The target audience is early childhood educators working in group centres for preschool or school age children, family child care operators, early childhood students, and parents. There are a minimum of ten workshops presented in the year and they usually run two hours in length. Many of the workshops will be eligible for professional development hours from the Early Childhood Educator Registry of B.C., however we do not guarantee this. Subscribers to our Child Care Resource and Referral program receive a special rate for workshops.
