Sharing a free course!!

I have had the privilege of engaging in learning with ECPN, and the experience truly deepened my thinking and expanded my practice as an educator. Their work invites reflection, curiosity, and new ways of seeing the possibilities within our work.

Registration for the Spring 2026 cohort of Waste-as Material: Reimagining the ECE Classroom is now open! This is a free, publicly funded professional development opportunity for early childhood educators in British Columbia.

This four-part course, developed by ECPN and ECEBC within the re:materia project, invites educators to rethink waste materials in early childhood spaces. The course content provides a framework for understanding materials and waste as active participants in ECE, and each module is designed to connect participants with other educator colleagues who want to rethink waste creatively.

Each module in this four-module course combines a Zoom session with self-paced online learning, offering a total of 22 Pro-D hours upon completion.

Register early to claim your spot!

ECE!

Shortages in so many occupations now means more opportunities for students to be trained and supported for university costs through the Canada Student Loan Forgiveness Program.

New occupations have been added. Maybe there is a great career here that interests you.

*Keep in mind that in addition to this federal news, there continues to be zero percent interest on the provincial portion of all student loans.
