Alignment of the systems: Early learning, care and education presented by Andrea Maurice

Early Learning and Care and Education (school) have different histories and mandates. Child care emerged to provide care for children when their parents were not able to whereas schools were created to contribute to a child’s educational journey. In many regions, education is universally available whereas child care is not (yet). This video will briefly examine the split between the two systems and how BC’s is moving towards the integration of early learning and care and education.
