The 2018 conference will continue to lead the field of professional development in early childhood development. Topics will include considerations and practices in work with young children and their families, as we adapt to our rapidly changing society.

Please join us as we enter our third decade of hosting the BC Early Years Conference welcoming participants from across Canada and Internationally. This conference focus is on early childhood development, early childhood intervention and family support. The initiative reflects the powerful partnerships that we have formed across many communities: University of British Columbia, Infant Development Program, Aboriginal Infant Development Program, Sunny Hill Health Centre, BC Children’s Hospital, Family Support Institute and many more. These partnerships allow us to address diverse topics of evidence based practice and research.

Consider the influence of diverse social and cultural factors, including digital media and technology, in the context of child and family development
Recognize the impact of trauma, including intergenerational trauma, and other adverse life experiences
Consider how children with special needs experience and interact across different environments
Enhance our understanding of inclusive approaches in supporting the child, family and community
Review evidence based approaches aimed to strengthen resilience in young children and their families
