Early Learning for Every Child Today is prepared for use by early childhood practitioners – early childhood educators, parenting workers, kindergarten teachers, family support staff, early interventionists, home care visitors – and other caregivers who are working in early childhood settings.  \nEarly Learning for Every Child Today is a Best Start initiative that emerged from the work of the Best Start Expert Panel on Early Learning – a panel of professionals from the early childhood education and the formal education sectors in Ontario.  \nBest Start is a long-term strategy to design a coherent system for young children. In 2005, the Best Start Expert Panel on Early Learning was established to develop an early learning framework for formal preschool settings that would link with the Junior/Senior Kindergarten program and, ultimately, develop a single integrated early learning framework for children ages two-and-a-half-to six-years. The work of the Expert Panel on Early Learning supports the immediate and long-term goals of Best Start.  \nThe individuals who were invited by the Minister of Children and Youth Services to participate on the panel appreciated the opportunity to share their expertise and support the Ontario government’s Best Start vision. Dr. Pat Dickinson prepared the international curriculum framework review that guided the panel’s work (see Appendix 1) and made significant contributions to the development of Early Learning for Every Child Today.  \nThe panel received knowledgeable and responsive support from Karen Chandler, Lynne Livingstone and the rest of the Best Start team at the Ministry of Children and Youth Services. The collaborative relationship among Ministry staff and panel members was essential to the completion of this document.  \nThe panel also benefitted from the participation of representatives from the Ministry of Education and the Literacy and Numeracy Secretariat.  \nEarly Learning for Every Child Today is based on an extensive review of early childhood curriculum and pedagogy in Canada and internationally, research findings and the collective professional expertise of the panel members.  \nA Framework for Ontario Early Childhood Settings 1  \nBest Start Expert Panel on Early Learning  \n• Chair: Jane Bertrand, Executive Director, Atkinson Centre for Society and Child Development, Ontario Institute for Studies in Education, University of Toronto  \n• Dr. Judith Bernhard, Professor, School of Early Childhood Education, Ryerson University  \n• Jan Blaxall, Professor, Early Childhood Education Program, Fanshawe College  \n• Jaynane Burning Fields, Children’s Initiatives Manager, Ontario Federation of Indian Friendship Centres  \n• Mary Gordon, President/Founder, Roots of Empathy  \n• Marie Goulet, Professor, Faculty of Early Childhood Development, George Brown College  \n• Janice Greenberg, Program Manager, Learning, Language and Loving It Program, The Hanen Centre  \n• Josée Latulippe, Président, Association francophone à l’éducation des services à l’enfance del’Ontario  \n• Joan Littleford, Executive Assistant, Elementary Teachers Federation of Ontario  \n• Claire Maltais, Facul","cbCaicpiwkfZ04qR","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaicpiwkfZ04qR","pdf",2262217,191,"English","# Introduction\n## Statement of Principles\n## Understanding Children’s Development\n## Into Practice\n## Assessment, Evaluation and Monitoring\n## Glossary\n## Appendices\n## References","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of Early Learning for Every Child Today in Ontario early childhood settings?\",\"answer\":\"It describes how young children learn and develop and provides a guide for curriculum within Ontario early childhood settings to support best possible childhood outcomes.\"},{\"question\":\"Which Ontario programs and services does the framework cover?\",\"answer\":\"It applies to settings including child care centres, regulated home child care, nursery schools, kindergarten, Ontario Early Years Centres, family resource programs, parenting centres, readiness centres, and related child development and early intervention services.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the framework relate to existing legislation and program guidelines?\",\"answer\":\"It is intended to complement, not replace, Ontario Day Nurseries Act requirements, Ontario Early Years Centre guidelines, and the Kindergarten Program.\"}]","Early Learning for Every Child Today - A Framework for Ontario Early Childhood Settings | PDF",67]
