About this Event
This event is taking place at Algonquin College, Ottawa Campus.
Please join us as we celebrate 35 years of excellence in Early Learning at Algonquin College.
This special event will recognize the rich history, achievements, and lasting impact of the Early Learning Centre (ELC). For 35 years, the Centre has provided high-quality early learning and care to the children of Algonquin College students, employees, and families from the broader community, while serving as a unique living-learning environment on campus. Through observation, experiential learning, hands-on practice, and mentorship, the ELC has helped prepare generations of early childhood educators, enriching student learning while strengthening connections between education, practice, and community.
Guests can tour the Early Learning Centre and hear from presenters exploring the evolution and future of early learning. The event will also feature a special presentation and opportunities to connect with community partners, educators, faculty, learners, and Alumni.
Together, we will honour the Centre's legacy, celebrate its contributions to children, families, learners, and educators, and explore its future, including Indigenous learning and perspectives, outdoor learning, innovation, and educator preparation.
