July 16 - 18, 2024
Thunder Bay was the meeting place for the Indigenous Early Learning and Wise Practices Gathering. Child care professionals gathered for 3 days to connect, share and learn, and build a network of supports and resources.
Schoolhouse Playcare Centre was honoured to be a part of this learning experience as we were one of the locations participants toured. Through out the day on Wednesday, July 17th, 2024, participants arrived via bus and were given an hour tour of our Elsie location. We were able to share about our philosophy and how our environments and programming are inspired by the Reggio Emilia approach. This was also a learning opportunity for us as we were able to connect with educators and professionals passionate about working in caring / learning environments for young children.
