British Columbia Early Learning Framework (2019) (English)
The revised Early Learning Framework is the culmination of a collaborative process that included early childhood educators, primary teachers, academics, Indigenous organizations, Elders, government, and other professionals. Hundreds of people across the province contributed their feedback on drafts of this framework through provincial regional sessions, town hall conference calls, an online survey, advisory group sessions, and numerous consultation meetings. The process has been lively, with rich discussions that brought forward many perspectives. Central to these discussions was the acknowledgement that this framework has been, and continues to be, vital to early years practices for educators, children, and families in B.C.
The first Early Learning Framework published in 2008 changed the landscape of early years practice in British Columbia. It presented an image of the child as capable and full of potential, and introduced pedagogical narration as a process for reflecting on the knowledge and understandings of childhood. The 2008 framework served to broaden the dialogue about early learning in our province.
