New Early Years Learning Program (in process of being implemented)
BLC is working together with Let's Talk Science to produce Canada's first comprehensive year-long hands-on program for children to explore, learn and apply basic mathematics, sciences and technology concepts in daily programming within a structured early years learning program (ages infant – 5 years) and an after-school program (ages 6-12).
Designed to develop critical skills and positive attitudes towards Science, including the environment, it will incorporate hands-on activities suitable for young children, educator-training materials, and print learning materials with the following attributes:
- child-centred
- integrated and holistic approach to learning with a focus on “real life”
- based on solid educational theory
- strong math, science, environment, and technology component
It will be an new innovative learning program that answers children’s questions about their world (most of which are actually Science-based). It will encourage their innate curiosity and foster the development of critical skills and abilities such as working with others, asking good questions, and solving problems. This curriculum will provide a solid foundation for lifelong learning and interest in Science.
The Technology
The BLC centre will also initiate the following technologies in their ongoing effort to be a state-of-the-art child care facility:
- Controlled entry to building with a swipe card for authorized parents and personnel
- High-speed internet access at the centre for research and hosting of servers (in process of being implemented)
- Dedicated database intranet for child reporting and progress, as well as account and care information (in process of being implemented)
- E-mail and other internet technologies for communication with parents
- Incorporation of networked computers in all rooms, for fun, learning and data entry
- Web site news and resource links for sharing of new child care information and events
- Foster strategic relationships with other technology companies to enhance learning for all children
