Advanced Special Needs Training
The Creche Child and Family Centre and George Brown College collaborate to offer to Early Childhood Educators advanced specialized training for work with children with special needs. The goal of this initiative is to strengthen the capacity of early childhood educators to respond to children with special needs. The training reflects a philosophy of inclusive treatment of the child with special needs in early childhood settings. The training is a combination of theory and case-based application. The training consists of two major modules, the first composed of eight theory-based study sessions and the second of a series of monthly network meetings.
 
Reaching In - Reaching Out is a two year research project conducted by The Child and Family Partnership: The YMCA of Greater Toronto, the University of Guelph, The Creche Child and Family Centre and George Brown College. The project uses human development knowledge about resiliency, adapts it for application with preschool children in licensed child care, evaluates the impact of the newly developed strategies and will disseminate the relevant findings and materials to Canadian and International audiences in child care and related fields. Enhanced resiliency has significant promise for long-term outcomes for children. The project aims to strengthen early childhood development, learning, care and to improve parenting. Casa Loma Child Care Centre at George Brown College is one of the four child care centers in the project involved in the development of tools and curricula.
