Addressing Inequity in Canada through Early Childhood Education
Time:
Friday, June 2 - 8:30 AM - 4:30 PM
Location: OISE, Main Floor Library
Research tells us that quality early childhood education can be a game-changer for children, particularly those from disadvantaged backgrounds. Yet many policies and practices prevent racialized, indigenous and vulnerable children from participating in early childhood programs or stream them into low quality settings.
The 14th conference theme is Addressing inequities in Canada through early childhood education. By the time we meet on June 2, a new framework for early learning and childcare will most likely be in place. Jurisdictions are using the occasion to update their early childhood policies. It is important that change be informed by evidence and viewed through an equity lens.
This year's institute will feature sessions that allow for extended, informed dialogue about ECEC finance, policy, practice and research and its role in promoting - or subverting - equity.
