Indigenous Early Learning and Child Care
Ezhi Mno Gshke'ewizing Kognaawsang - How we raise our children in a good way?
This vision fosters:
- Collaboration and reflective practices
- Self-care and ongoing professional development
- Respectful relationships among children, families, educators, and communities.
It celebrates children’s spirit, gifts, rites of passage, connecting them to land, water, and traditions through ceremonies, language, and intergenerational relationships. It is a system led by Indigenous Peoples, flexible, inclusive, and accountable where educators are recognized as essential to nurturing future generations, and communities come together to decide what is best for their children.
