The environment is often referred to as the “third teacher” due to its importance in early learning. In this café we will discuss how a positive environment that is rich in a variety of experiences, materials and opportunities can support a children’s learning and the development of the whole child. Join the QCCN Team as we highlight tools and resources that can provide us with strategies for increasing quality in our environments.

According to Webster's New World College Dictionary (4th ed.), to "engage" is "to draw into, involve, to attract and to hold”. In this café, we will have conversations on how completing the DISC Preschool Screen (DPS) presents an opportunity to establish ongoing and responsive relationships with families and engage them in our programs.

Interested in learning more about the DPS or want to learn how to best implement the tool? Join the QCCN Team as we reflect on how the tool can build on trust and communication with families, embark on having the conversation as well as impart practical tips for successful implementation.
