A Year with the BC Early Learning Framework

Frog Hollow Learning Centre is excited to offer an amazing learning opportunity to educators in the Lower Mainland.

During this time, we will meet in-person for full days three times, and meet on Zoom on seven evenings. The program also involves a tour of Frog Hollow Children's Programs in Vancouver.

Who should attend? Educators and teachers working with children 0–8 years old and living in the Lower Mainland will benefit greatly from this program.

Why this program? Instead of going through the BCELF page by page, this program focusses on the main ideas presented in the framework and engages the participants with lived experiences and hands-on activities that will support their learnings with these ideas. The program involves ongoing critical reflection and helps educators bring BCELF concepts to everyday life in practical ways. The mixture of in-person and online class formats makes this program accessible for working professionals.
