Rights, Respect and Reciprocity:
Building a Culture of Reflective Practice

So my story is about an open-ended early childhood education in a centre that occupies and contributes to an unfinished world, a place of infinite possibilities, giving constant rise to wonder and surprise, magic moments and goose bumps, and a source of hope and renewed belief in the world: a place, too, where ‘freedom, democracy and solidarity are practiced and where the value of peace is promoted’. (Moss, 2013, p. 82)
This past year has been a year of changes at The School House Early Care and Learning Centre, and it appears that changes are continuing to unfold. The vision here has always been one of raising the bar on Early Childhood Education, to do our best to be a high-quality learning centre. The provincial government at this time has moved forward on many fronts to meet these goals within the province. We were fortunate to be chosen as a $10/day prototype site. This opportunity has helped us finish and expand on renovations started earlier with a capital funding grant. It has also allowed us to expand on a professional development project initiated with a Columbia Basin Trust Grant, this project is the subject of this post. [READ MORE]

The School House Early Care and Learning Centre acknowledges our respect and deep gratitude to the First Nations of the West Kootenai Region:
The Sinixt (Lakes), the Sylix (Okanagan), the Ktunaxa and Secwepemc (Shushwap) people whose traditional territory on which we are honored to live and play. We honour their connection to the land and respect the importance of the environment to our strength as a community.

We are excited to say that we are a "Prototype Site!"
