10 Reasons to Choose Quality Early Learning and Child Care

Expert knowledge Early childhood educators are experts in child development and are trained to create inspiring learning environments!

Intentionality Early childhood educators provide your child the gift of time and attention. They will stop and explore the new flowers or jump in the mud puddles with your child.

Young at heart Early childhood educators know how to have fun! They’re not afraid to be silly and laugh with your child; all while nurturing your child’s creativity and helping to build their self-confidence.

Setting limits Every child needs reasonable boundaries, such as no playing ball inside. Early childhood educators set limits and support families in doing the same.

Love of literacy Early childhood educators read and tell stories, sing songs, and do puppet shows to inspire a love of language and to build early literacy skills.

Confidence boost Early childhood educators provide safe opportunities for your child to be independent and to become confident in their personality and decision making skills.

Inspired learning Early childhood educators ask open-ended questions to inspire creative thought and curiosity, to encourage children to explore, and to make learning fun.

Life skills Early childhood educators use their expertise to develop programs that use play as a tool for teaching math, literacy, science and essential life skills that last for life!

Making friends Early childhood educators are educated to appropriately support children to gain social skills, which are so important in making friends and developing positive relationships!

Helping hand Everyone gets stumped by parenting from time to time - juggling schedules, demands, and behaviours. When it gets tough and you need someone to talk to, reach out to your child’s early childhood educator!

Become a Confident Story Teller Workshop

Become a Confident Story Teller
with Melissa Brownlow
March 28th, 2017 6:30 pm - 8:30 pm
Approved for 2 hours of on-going training by the Early Learning and Child Care Board (ELCCB)

Workshop Description
Everyday stories are the fabric of our world. If you listen you can hear them in the line up at the grocery store or in the staff room or the rink. Listening to children's stories brings insight into what they know and what their interests are. Listening acknowledges them as capable people.

In this workshop, participants will become familiar with Vivian Paley's Story Telling Curriculum by listening to and telling their own everyday stories. They will learn: How can the story telling curriculum foster play, and oral language? How does the story telling curriculum support developmentally appropriate practice? What does it allow the Early childhood educator to do?

Participants will leave with confidence in their own ability to tell everyday stories and recognize them in children. They will encourage and enable children to be story tellers.

About Melissa
Melissa Brownlow has been listening to stories in her kindergarten classroom and using the storytelling curriculum to develop oral language and encourage play with her students. She completed a thesis on these everyday stories at UPEI. She has been teaching young children for twenty seven years and holds a BA in literature from Acadia, BEd from St Mary's of Moraga, completed courses in Early Childhood Education at Holland College, and MEd from UPEI.
