The Sunshine Coast Early Childhood Development Planning Table is launching an Early Years Awareness Campaign for the month of October, designed to educate our community about the importance of early childhood and to highlight the vitality of our many local Early Years programs and services.
During October’s Early Years Awareness Campaign, several events are planned in conjunction with our regular Early Years programs. One highlight of the month is the annual Child Care and Parenting Conference: Exploration and Discovery 2008. This popular conference is an event for child care providers, parents, ECE professionals and community members. The day features diverse workshops including a keynote speaker and lunch. This event is brought to you by the Sunshine Coast Child Care Resource and Referral Program, and is intended to promote, educate, and increase community awareness of child development needs and issues, as well as establish networking, professional development, and child care advocacy opportunities on the Sunshine Coast. You may register for the October 18 conference by calling 604-885-5657.
Many other initiatives are planned for October’s Early Years Awareness Campaign. The campaign is being delivered by the Sunshine Coast ECD Planning Table in partnership with The Understanding the Early Years Initiative, which is funded by Human Resources and Social Development Canada.
