Books, Baskets & Beyond is a 10-part professional learning series from ELCC, where we will bring five children’s books to life through two hands-on workshops for each story. Create practical storytelling resources you can take back to your program, then discover new ways to extend each book through play, programming, learning environments, family engagement, and children’s interests. With each workshop designed to stand alone, you can join for one session or follow a story from beginning to beyond!

September 30 marks the National Day of Truth and Reconciliation. It is a time for self-reflection and a time to look back on the tragic role that residential schools have played in the history of this country and the lasting effects they have had on First Nations people and culture.

This 10-part workshop series that provides an opportunity for educators to dig deeper into supporting children’s social and emotional development. Inspired by children’s books and guided by the CASEL framework, this workshop will explore SEL themes through group discussion, reflection, play, and lots of hands-on activities.

This series of workshops will examine responsive programming through specific areas of focus in the Guidelines and Policies for Child Care and Family Day Home Programs. Educators will engage in group discussions and hands-on activities that explore ways of supporting children’s intellectual and social development through a variety of materials and play opportunities.
