Join Our Outdoor Early Childhood Education Community of Practice
The Canadian Centre for Outdoor Play collaborative invites those interested in outdoor early childhood education to come join our community of practice!
Our community of practice is geared towards early childhood educators across Canada that are interested in and/or already in support of regularly bringing children outdoors.
The overarching ethos is to promote collaboration, avoid duplication of efforts, empower practitioners to promote outdoor play opportunities across a variety of settings, and ensure outdoor ECE programming is culturally appropriate and place-based.
Some specific goals include the development of quality indicators for best practices in licensed outdoor ECE programs and the development of an outdoor ECE needs assessments to inform the ongoing development and evolution of outdoor ECE resources and tools.
