Webinar: Attachment-based Care in Early Years Education
In this webinar, participants will learn about how to take an attachment-based approach to support new immigrant children and families. Newcomers to Canada may face adversity as part of the immigration process in addition to possible geographic and social isolation as part of the COVID-19 pandemic.
In this webinar, attendees will also think about play, documentation, and making curriculum visible for parents as a way to connect with parents. Participants will also think in relation to theories that inform their practices in Canada, the cultural assumptions embedded in those theories, and work with families from a place of cultural humility.
This webinar offers a certificate of attendance to support Early Childhood Educator (ECE) certification renewal. All attendees will be contacted after the webinar to receive a certificate of attendance. The recording of the webinar and certificate option will be available through the AMSSA Institute a few weeks after the event.
The event promises transferable knowledge for any settlement staff interacting with children and wanting to understand current early childhood development and learning approaches.
