Excerpt 

Collège Boréal is proud to announce two new initiatives designed to support the Francophone early childhood education sector. With funding from the City of Toronto and the Commission nationale des parents francophones (CNPF), more than $1 million is being invested to strengthen recruitment efforts in Francophone child care services across Ontario and to enhance the skills of early childhood professionals currently working in Toronto.

Four early childhood education workshops in Toronto

Developed in partnership with the City of Toronto, Centennial College, George Brown College, Mothercraft, and Seneca Polytechnic, this project aims to strengthen the expertise of early childhood educators in areas such as mentorship, student supervision, and leadership development through targeted training sessions and interactive workshops.

Participants will deepen their understanding of student support and peer mentorship through sessions delivered in person or online. Communities of practice will also be created to encourage knowledge sharing and the application of new learning in the workplace. All staff working in educational settings or with child care agencies that have agreements with the City of Toronto will be eligible to take part in these workshops, which will be offered in French by Collège Boréal.
