Aboriginal Early Childhood Development
The Aboriginal Early Childhood Development (AECD) Initiative is focused on supporting comprehensive, integrated and culturally sustainable community-based programs in Aboriginal communities throughout British Columbia.
There are currently 43 Aboriginal ECD programs in BC which aim to:
- Increase the health and well-being of Aboriginal children;
- Strengthen the capacity of Aboriginal communities to deliver a full range of services with an emphasis on early childhood development; and
- Increase awareness, outreach and access to a wide range of culturally appropriate ECD programs and services for Aboriginal children, families and communities.
