Early Learning Framework BC – Where is it?

As you know Susan Kennedy, with the Ministry of Education , recently emailed me regarding the plans for the work of the Early Childhood Learning Agency.  I was very interested in the following comment that was included in the email.

In order to guide early learning programs in British Columbia the Ministry of Education recently led the development of an Early Learning Framework for children from birth to five years old children.  The primary purpose of the Early Learning Framework is to support adults to create rich early learning experiences and environments that reflect the latest knowledge on how best to support young children’s early learning and development.  All early learning programs that are offered by the Ministry of Education, including StrongStart BC Early Learning Programs, are encouraged to use this Framework as a guide to providing quality early learning experiences that are developmentally appropriate with a holistic approach to learning.  Any future programs, including those recommended for implementation by the Agency for young children would likely also be based on this pedagogy.
