Provide the best early childhood education and care possible – learn teaching strategies, techniques and learning outcomes through continuing education opportunities or early childhood educator training.

This course provides an overview of inclusive practices and implementation strategies for inclusion in child care settings. It is designed for child care providers, early childhood educators (ECEs), and other professionals in the child care sector. This self-paced course will increase your awareness and understanding of inclusion and inclusive practices in child care settings. Inclusion is viewed as a broad and multi-dimensional concept which influences almost every aspect of a child care program. We know that when more children with support needs and disabilities are included in community child care, everyone benefits!
