Science of Early Child Development » eLearning

welcome

The Science of Early Child Development (ECD) is an online curriculum resource, presented in a flexible, interactive multimedia format, inspired and informed by the following questions:

What is the new framework for studying child development?
Why is it important for those who work with children and families to understand science related to young children?
How do everyday experiences affect biological pathways with long-term outcomes on health, learning and behaviour?
Does what we do when children are little really affect the long-term health and well-being of the population?
How can we narrow the gap between research and practice?

"The Red River multimedia program on early child development is unique in that it links the story of experience-based brain development with child development in relation to health, learning and behaviour. This body of knowledge is not only important for preparing the professionals who work in early child development, but is also crucial for individuals in the education programs, parents as well as individuals in government both locally, provincially and nationally. It has been tested in several sites including the Aga Khan University in Karachi, Pakistan. The people from South Asia, UNICEF programs, from government and other programs all found the experience with this program a valuable teaching resource."
