The Early Childhood Professional Resource Centre is permanently closed.
Region of Waterloo Children’s Services is working on creating a new model for professional learning supports, based on feedback we have received from the community, with the resources available to us.
We want to ensure programs and educators are getting the support they need.
As we work through these changes, please reach out to your Early Years Analyst, Rhonda Warren (Supervisor, Partnerships, Quality and Growth) at [email protected] or Kim Sangüesa (Manager, Partnerships, Quality and Accountability) at [email protected] if you have any questions.
