In Canada, some provincial and territorial governments have opted to have open (free) access to the Science of Early Child Development (SECD) resources for the benefit of professionals, post-secondary students, parents, and anyone within the province.

Some ways these online resources may be used:

• For your own professional development, by delving into a variety of early years topics.
• For staff training, by selecting topics for staff meetings to encourage critical thinking and discussion.
• For parent education, by showing the video examples to parents/clients.
• For classes and workshops, by projecting and discussing the information in face-to-face sessions.
• For online teaching, by having students access the resources as their “textbook.”

Providing access to these evidence-based resources helps ensure those working with children can engage in ongoing learning that supports quality program and service delivery.
