Foundations of ECE

Description

This course explores and builds an initial understanding of the foundational elements of early childhood education by asking questions (using a who, what, when, where, why, how format). We position relationships and relations as the central element in early childhood communities and programs. This understanding is created by examining the foundational conditions that children need to grow and flourish and draws on ideas from How Does Learning Happen?, anti-bias and anti-racist curriculum and pedagogy, Indigenous early learning frameworks, and theories of play and learning. Additionally, in this course, we consider the role of early childhood educators in creating playbased environments for children of all ages and explore the ways that educators support children's sense of belonging, connection, and well-being in early learning spaces. Students engage in this analysis while developing an awareness of personal bias and experience that is also situated within the current social context.
