Infant and Toddler Curriculum – Relationships, Play, and Care as the Heart of Learning

Duration: 3 hours

This workshop explores how curriculum for infants and toddlers is built through everyday experiences, relationships, play, and caregiving.

Drawing on theorists and practitioners such as Loris Malaguzzi, Carla Rinaldi, Lev Vygotsky, Peter Moss, Veronica Pacini-Ketchabaw, Doris Bergen, Mary Gordon, and Zero to Three, the workshop emphasizes how learning is co-constructed in relational and cultural contexts. The British Columbia Early Learning Framework (2019) is used as the guiding lens, situating curriculum as emergent, ethical, and deeply connected to children’s identities, well-being, belonging, engagement, and communication.
