The Early Childhood Inclusion: Every Child Belongs supports this growing need to provide training for early educators. This curriculum supports early educators in acquiring the knowledge and skills to implement effective and inclusive early learning practices and environments. Every child is exceptional and can benefit when inclusion forms the foundation for early learning programs.
