New! Ready-to-Use Play-Based Learning Kits for Loan or Purchase
The ECCDC’s Play-Based Learning Kits have been enhanced to make it even easier to link your developmental program planning to the learning expectations outlined within ELECT (Early Learning for Every Child Today), The Full Day Early Learning Kindergarten Program, 2010-11 and The Kindergarten Program (revised 2006). Each kit also supports developmental program planning such as found within the Quality Child Care Niagara Phase Two Program components and contains the Brigance Readiness Activities sequence of skills.
Across the Curriculum Kits offer a variety of resources to cover all learning domains and include an activity card with curriculum extension ideas for use in eleven learning centre areas.
Supplementary Materials Kits offer equipment and materials to enhance specific learning centres and activity cards with suggestions on how to use the materials.
Skill Enhancement Kits are designed to introduce and develop a specific skill set such as lacing and/or dressing and feature activity cards for each resource in the kit.
