Building strong partnerships with families of young children in early childhood education settings is one of the most important factors in providing high quality care and learning environments.  When a child has a special need or a disability, this relationship becomes critical. We look into the additional factors that are important to consider.

In this advanced series which is designed to follow the Why of Inclusion Series, we dig deeply into the research based practices to support implementation of successful inclusion.

One of the most difficult conversations early childhood educators must have with families is when there are concerns about a child's development. In this workshop we discuss what to consider before, during and after these conversations occur to best address the needs of the child and the family.

In this foundational workshop series we explore the "What" and "Why" of Inclusion. In order for an early childhood education setting to provide truly successful inclusion opportunities, it is central that the teaching teams have a clear understanding of Inclusion. This includes a creating a shared definition, understanding of the research and laws supporting Inclusion and awareness of common beliefs, values and bias related to Inclusion.
