ECE Workshop: Communication & Language Development / Curriculum & Learning Approaches
Supporting Children’s First Languages in Early Years Settings
Join us for this journey in becoming diverse, equitable and inclusive Early Years Centres. In this workshop we will discuss information about multilingualism, dispel myths about this area, reflect on our own practice, and discuss the importance of self-awareness and objectivity. We will share specific tools and strategies for educators to create warm and welcoming environments for everyone.

The workshop includes the following early learning framework inquiries:
Well-being and Belonging
Nurturing a sense of well-being and belonging supports children as they learn about and investigate the world around them.
Children’s Communication and Literacies
Children use multiple modes of expressive language to communicate ideas, participate in relationships and make meaning in their homes and communities.
Identities, Social, Responsibility, and Diversity
A positive personal and cultural identity is the awareness, understanding and appreciation of all facets that contribute to a healthy sense of oneself.
Inspired ECE and Playground Connections present Communication Development in the Early Years Settings, a dynamic and interactive 3-part workshop series for Early Childhood Educators, administrators and students in early years settings. Participants will learn how to build strong connections with families, become more familiar with typical communication development, and gain confidence in identifying communication-based needs through invitations and activities.
