Using $2.7 million in federal funding, the project explores ways in which virtual reality and immersive learning can be used to provide early childhood educators with improved training on how to work respectfully and inclusively with Indigenous, racialized, and diverse children and families.
These new methods aim to improve training for early childhood educators. The early learning and childcare sectors continue to evolve in increasingly complex and challenging environments. Identifying innovative practices that better address the essential needs of children and families is key to improving early learning and childcare services across Canada.
