Have been reading up on the ELECT document that Ontario has brought out for use in early childhood and our childcare association has had a couple workshop days on how to apply it to homecare. The document of course is somewhat ambiguous and other than caregivers shouldn't plan weekly themes anymore but instead let the kids pick the topics I am not getting a lot of concrete infor. I had hoped to have a better idea of what to expect before giving up an entire day to do a workshop as in I wanted to know it was going to benefit me with these wild new changes I should be making but I did not get that sense from what I read.
Would be interested to hear what other caregivers in Ontario are hearing from their associations, agencies, daycare centres, etc. since in theory even home daycare is supposed to be adopting the program outlines for the coming school year.
