Umbrella is pleased to offer a repeat of the full day elect workshop offered at the 2012 Conference “CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT USING THE EARLY LEARNING FOR EVERY CHILD TODAY (ELECT) FRAMEWORK” Presented by Caitlin Paterson, RECE SATURDAY, APRIL 28, 2012 We have had to turn so many people away from this workshop at our last two conferences that Umbrella has arranged for 4 hour workshop of this very popular workshop. It is the same workshop as the one at our March 3, 2012 Annual Conference! The workshop will provide an overview of emergent play based curriculum using the key skills and indicators from the ELECT continuum framework. The workshop will focus on implementing curriculum and documentation through photos and videos and provide samples of planning tools that work. The presentation will be combined with a participant Q and A period. Participants will learn how the key skills and indicators of the ELECT framework aid in the development of emergent play based curriculum focusing on the implementation and documentation processes.
Umbrella's 2011/2012 Fee and Salary Survey Umbrella's 2011/2012 Fee and Salary Survey results has been sent to all centres who filled in a survey questionnaire. The goal of the survey is simple. It answers the most asked questions in the child care field: what everyone else is charging, paying, or being paid! This valuable survey includes statistics on parent fees, staff salaries, and statistics on vacation credits, sick days and benefits such as health and dental plan coverage, and much more. The survey is extremely useful for Board members when deciding what fees to set and salaries to pay. Many centres also use it for interested parents when they enquire about day care costs in their area. Also, E.C.E. graduates often use the figures in this survey to set realistic salary goals. Free survey results will be sent out to centres who have filled in and returned a questionnaire. Cost is $50.00 to all others. Email Umbrella or call at 416-686-9869 for more information.
