Capable, Confident, and Curious: Nova Scotia’s Early Learning Curriculum Framework
It is an exciting time in the Nova Scotia Early Learning and Child Care field! In anticipation of the release of the revised curriculum framework, the NEW Module 1 - Image of the Child - is here!
It will uncover the possibilities for using the first part of the Framework, and the "whys" of being able to use your Image of the Child in practical ways. Join us for this interactive session that will be the foundation for the rest of the Framework.
We are offering two Module 1: Image of the Child sessions over the coming months:
Saturday, October 26th, from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM (Includes a short break)
Tuesday, November 19th, from 6:30 PM to 9:00 PM & Thursday, November 21st, from 6:30 PM to 9:00 PM
