January/February 2016

Greetings and Happy New Year!

The Ministry of Education has developed a new initiative to support their Early Learning for Every Child Today (ELECT) model called How Does Learning Happen?

What is How Does Learning Happen?

How Does Learning Happen? is a professional learning resource created by the Ontario government for those working in child care and child and family programs. It supports a method of teaching and program development in early years settings that is shaped by views about children, the role of educators and families, and the relationships among them. It builds on foundational knowledge about children and is grounded in new research and leading-edge practice from around the world.

Wee Watch prides itself on the fact that we already have the fundamentals of this new initiative. To learn more about it please click here.

We are looking forward to unveiling this year's Together Wee Can - Taste the World! Providers and the children in their homes will be taking a trip around the world learning about different cultures and foods from each country. They will also be learning about healthy eating and food safety.

I wish all of you, and your families, a happy and healthy New Year!

Sincerely,

Leslie Wilson
