Together, we build belonging

When educators come together to share experiences, revisit meaningful moments, and celebrate learning, a deeper sense of belonging begins to take root. These moments help us recognize the importance of relationships and the ways our communities shape children’s identities and well being.

Together, we will explore how connection, care, and inclusive relationships (both indoors and on the land) support a strong sense of belonging for children and educators alike.

Join the ELCC team for this final session in the It starts with a book workshop series as we reflect on our shared learning journey and celebrate the connections built along the way.

This session will take place on April 8, 2026 from 9:30 am until 11:30 am (online). 

Strength is built through challenge!

When children face challenges, take risks, experience setbacks, and try again resilience grows. These moments are also where children begin to notice fairness, inclusion, and how their actions affect others.

Join us for an interactive workshop exploring how resilience and a sense of justice develop through everyday experiences. Together, we will look at ways of creating environments that support inclusion, equity, and fairness through open-ended play, shared problem-solving, and everyday challenges.

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.
