ECPN Newsletter Issue 9: June 2023

The Here and Now: Reimagining Early Childhoods in Urgent Times

Posted On: Jun 21, 2023

In Issue #9 of the Here and Now, the ECPN reflects on Elder Pointe's words during the Early Childhood Educators of British Columbia (ECEBCs) conference in May. The ECPN takes seriously pedagogists' and educators' roles in creating spaces where children can flourish and a curriculum is fostered that can respond to the worlds that children inhabit. This issue also recognizes Pride Month and emphasizes the need for early childhood centers to celebrate diversity in sexuality and gender identity, thereby challenging heteronormative discourses. June 21st is National Indigenous Peoples Day, and the ECPN celebrates the work of our sister Network, The First Nations Pedagogies Network (FNPN) and the work of The Métis Nation of BC.

Issue # 8 Celebrates May is Child Care Month in BC. In this edition of the Here and Now, ECPN acknowledges the transformative change taking place across the province in spite of ongoing challenges such as the recruitment and retention of educators. This month's Here & Now asks members of the ECPN community to look for opportunities to become active participants in the dialogue of universal early learning and early childhood education infrastructure. A few ways to make your voice heard by decision-makers and policymakers is to write to your elected Member of Parliament (MP). Let your MP know your thoughts, concerns, questions, and wonderings on Bill C-35.
