British Columbia's Early Learning Framework, and how we put it into practice
British Columbia's Early Learning Framework guides early learning from birth to age 8. It applies to child care, preschools, StrongStart BC programs, and primary classrooms. The framework supports well-being, belonging, exploration, communication, and positive identities — and it shapes how licensed daycares like Friendship Corner deliver care and learning.
Friendship Corner is a Licensed Group Daycare under BC's child care licensing regulations. Our practices align with the Early Learning Framework: we support play-based learning, family partnership, and the holistic development of each child in a safe, inclusive environment.
We combine the Early Learning Framework with Montessori education. Our prepared environment, mixed-age groups, and focus on independence and respect support the framework's goals. We work closely with families and maintain high standards for health, safety, and development.
