As many of you know, the ECEBC Bursary fund for Professional Development will close at the end of August.
However, Westcoast Child Care Resource Centre (WCCRC), will begin administering a PD Bursary for ECEs and other child care providers in British Columbia starting this fall!
The CCRR Program supports BC families and child care providers. Funded by the Ministry of Children and Family Development, we are proud to increase access for families to community services and Government programs, and improve the quality of child care through training and resource support.
In 2018-19 we provided:
27,336 families with affordable Child Care benefit assistance
79,724 Child Care referrals
1041 professional development opportunities to 19,616 participants
21,616 borrowers with library resources
2670 support visits to Child Care Programs
Across the province.
This summer, Westcoast is offering a series of three workshops on photography in early child care settings for beginners. These can be taken as standalone workshops of 4 hours each, or as a series of 3 workshops for a total of 12 hours of professional development.
