As someone who has a passion for early learning this video is a wonderful representation of what I aspire my classroom to look like one day. Have you taken a look at the Early Learning and Childcare Framework? This framework provides a guide for communities, program administrators, service providers, policy makers and governments to work towards achieving a shared vision that all indigenous children have an opportunity to experience high quality and cultural strong early learning child care. [1] Indigenous students who attend this program and setting would be well supported and would support their long term development and life outcomes.
Although cliche its true that children are future. We have an opportunity here to really embed a culture of acceptance, understanding, and compassion. A new era of Truth and Reconciliation and give all children a strong sense of identity and Canadian history. This holistic approach that includes indigenous cultures and languages and community members should be what other programs are using as a measure of success, and something to strive for.
