This is a space for early childhood educators to learn, explore and grow together as a community.
It all begins at an early age.
Our view of ourselves, others and the world begins in our earliest years. These views set our course for the years to follow. As early childhood educators, the work you do today, shapes childrens’ futures.
This community aims to help you:
The future of our society begins with the next generation. Today and every day, early childhood educators are shaping tomorrow’s worldview.
We've curated a variety of training opportunities and professional resources to help you grow in your career
We've compiled a list of helpful resources from the Government of Yukon and community organizations so you can stay connected.

The ELCC team has combined the postponed "You and me: exploring empathy and social awareness" workshop with our "Friends and feelings: forming healthy relationships" workshop to create one enriched, hands-on session: "Growing from me to we: empathy, feelings, and friendship"
Join the us for an exciting new workshop that focuses on how empathy supports children as they shift from individual perspectives toward shared understanding, and how friendships and caring actions grow alongside emotional and social awareness. Through discussion and practical activities, educators will explore ways to intentionally support this progression during everyday peer interactions, playful learning, and imaginative social experiences.
Join ELCC for a two-part workshop that offers a hands-on, safe space to focus on your own wellness and mental nourishment. Both sessions are designed to be calm, creative, practical, and offer tools that support educator wellness and self regulation, both at work and beyond.
