Play, participation, and possibilities: an early learning and child care curriculum framework for Alberta

Abstract

This document presents Alberta's Early Learning and Child Care Curriculum Framework, titled "Play, Participation, and Possibilities." It emphasizes the importance of play, active participation, and recognizing children as capable learners and citizens. The framework was developed through a collaborative effort involving educators, academics, government officials, and community professionals. It draws inspiration from other curriculum frameworks, such as the New Brunswick model, and focuses on co-constructing curriculum with children, families, and educators.
