Illuminating Care: The Pedagogy and Practice of Care in Early Childhood Communities

How do we center care as a pedagogy in our early learning practices?

In this episode, we’re diving into an inspiring conversation exploring caring and responsive relationships by reflecting on a powerful quote from Carol Garboden Murray’s Illuminating Care: The Pedagogy and Practice of Care in Early Childhood Communities.

Let’s explore how care connects us all.

WHAT’S HAPPENING IN THE RESOURCE LIBRARY?

Roxaboxen is a children’s book based on a true story about pretend play. Borrow a copy from the Resource Library and share open-ended materials in your program for children to explore and shape their own vision of Roxaboxen.

MEET THE STAFF AT THRC

Let’s get acquainted! I’m Belinda Cruz, Supervisor of Resources and Community Engagement. As a Sheridan graduate with 20 years of experience working with children, I’ve had the opportunity to connect with many centers, families, and communities throughout my learning journey. Now, I have the privilege of working alongside an exceptional team at THRC, dedicated to supporting and enhancing our community.

Hello, my name is Frances Killingbeck and I graduated from Sheridan when dinosaurs roamed the Earth.

Midway through my career 17 years ago, as an ECE, I found a forever home at THRC. I’m grateful to currently serve the team as a Supervisor in support of the Pedagogical Mentorship program.
