This course is designed to support students on their path to becoming Registered Early Childhood Educators (RECEs) with practical strategies for supporting the social and emotional growth of children under 1 year to 6 years of age. This child-centered, problem-solving guidance philosophy is based on current research in child development and Early Childhood Education. Students will also learn how the child guidance philosophy and practice of Indigenous peoples can be incorporated into a modern day child care setting and how the Registered Early Childhood Educator can exemplify traditional Indigenous values in his or her role when guiding children.
