Here is some information that recently came out from the Ministry of Education in British Columbia…

The Ministry of Education is developing an Early Learning Framework for preschool aged children in British Columbia.  The framework sets out to describe, in broad terms, a vision, principles, and areas of learning for children from birth to five years of age.

A copy of the draft document is now posted on the Ministry of Education’s website.  The website also includes a response form intended to stimulate further dialogue.

The document will be posted from May 1- May 31, 2007 and can be found HERE

The Response Form has been posted on the Early Learning Initiatives page HERE.  Feedback is due by June 1, 2007 

The input of your organization is valued and plays an important role in helping the Ministry make decision and further refine the Early Learning Framework.  We trust your organization will review the framework and provide us with your ideas and comments using the response form.

We encourage you to share this e-mail and information with parents, communities, members and partners.
