In British Columbia, Early Learning is framed through four living inquiries. These inquiries refer to the way children, educators, materials and ideas work together as children think and learn. Families are naturally engaging in the development of these living inquiries daily.

Here are further ideas on how you might continue to support these living inquiries at home through a variety of activities:

Well-Being and Belonging

Engagement with Others, Materials, and the World

Communication and Literacies

Identities, Social Responsibility, and Diversity

(Early Learning Framework, 2019)
