Communication in early childhood is much more than spoken words.

From gestures and play to storytelling and art, children are constantly expressing their thoughts, feelings, and ideas.

Join us for an engaging workshop exploring how communication supports social and emotional learning. Together, we will look at how listening deeply, responding with intention, and valuing multiple forms of expression help children build self-awareness, empathy, strong relationships and important early literacy skills.

From understanding feelings, to considering others, to making thoughtful choices: this is how children learn to decide well.
Join us for an engaging workshop that builds on empathy and social awareness to explore how young children learn to make “big choices.” Educators will examine how problem-solving, prediction, and risk-taking support responsible decision-making in early childhood, and how educators can coach children through everyday social challenges.

Hosted by the Child Development Centre and the ELCC branch, this in-person information session is for owner/operators of licensed early learning and child care programs who want to know more about the requirements after you have been approved for supported child care. 

The Early Learning and Child Care branch at the Yukon Department of Education have partnered with Yukon First Nations Education Directorate and the Early Years Program to offer the ‘Understanding the Early Years’ course. The course, rich in Yukon First Nations culture, supports the development of culturally competent early childhood educators.
