"View ECEBC's position paper on the Role of the Early Childhood Educator in British Columbia. This position paper is a visionary document that disrupts and reinvents the traditional language of early childhood education. In doing so, it is intended to shift dominant narratives of early education and inspire thoughtful dialogues with early childhood educators about the lively potentialities of their evolving role." (ECEBC, 2022)

The BC Early Childhood Pedagogy Network (ECPN) looks forward to new possibilities for early childhood education with the recent announcement from BC Government Throne Speech that early childhood education will be moving to the Ministry of Education in April. 

Early childhood educators say workers are leaving the field en masse as burnout continues to plague the sector. We hear from the Chair of the School of Education and Childhood Studies at Capilano University.

In Episode 3 of Westcoast Child Care Resource Centre's BC's Path to Universal Child Care Podcast, Gyda Chud welcomes ECPN co-directors Kathleen Kummen and Veronica Pacini-Ketchabaw and community pedagogist Teresa Smith to discuss how pedagogists support educators to co-construct curriculum with children and bring to life the vision of the BC Early Learning Framework. 

On October 27, 2021, two new pieces of early learning and child care legislation were enshrined in British Columbia law. Putting political intention into formal legislation is an important step in holding government and policy makers accountable for promises made. But, how we enact the new legislation will determine the strength or weakness of the system we continue building together with early childhood education educators throughout the province. What else might this legislation generate for the field of early childhood education in BC?
