Philosophies and Theories of Early Care and Learning

Saturday February 25, 2017     

Time: 10:30 am – 3:00 pm          4 hours training                

 Fee: $65.00     FCC Fee: $50.00 (Promo Code)                                         

Theories about how children grow and learn influence both education and child care. Studying and understanding the historical foundations of past practitioners and theorists in this field will help us implement current methods and theory more effectively, understand our connections to the past, provide inspiration for our work and a sense of pride in our roles as co-creators of an active curriculum. Today’s practitioners will be tomorrow’s leaders and the future historical figures in the field. During this workshop participants will research, analyse and compare four education philosophies: Waldorf, Reggio, Fröebel and Montessori.

Objectives:

  • To research and investigate 4 philosophies of education utilizing resources from the Westcoast Early Learning Library.
  • To discuss, analyse and compare differences and similarities amongst these philosophies.
  • To present the findings of their research to the group.
  • To reflect on how quality relates to our current practice, methods and theory.

Suitable for all early learning child care professionals working with children of any age.

Presenter: Nora Mejia. B.Ed. & ECE. Nora is Westcoast’s Child Care Resource Centre Diversity Trainer and Training Program Coordinator.
