Metis Nation of Ontario: Early Learning & Child Care Education Kit Resource Guide - Infant/Toddler Due 01/10/2024

 The Early Learning Education Kit has been developed to foster a deeper understanding of Métis culture and way of life within Early Learning environments across Ontario. The Kit is intended to be utilized by early learning educators within their learning environments to enhance an understanding of Métis culture for all children in a culturally appropriate and inclusive way. The MNO ELCC team has identified the importance of developing resources to support early learning professionals. We are thrilled that this Kit will be offered to educators and organizations across the province.

Items included within the ELCC Education Kit have been chosen for early learning environments to support exploration and connections to Ontario documents, How Does Learning Happen? Ontario’s Pedagogy for Early Learning, and The Ontario Kindergarten Program.

MNO has chosen to distribute a free ELCC Education Kit to select early learning educators across Ontario. Selected educators across the province have already been contacted and support early learners in the following areas:

• Provide direct service delivery to children 0-12 years old;
• Provide direct service delivery to Métis Nation of Ontario citizens, including Métis Registered Early Childcare Educators;
• Early Learning Environments including child care centres, family and child support programs, EarlyONs, school boards, etc.
• Provide programming through MNO’s Regional offices.
