B​ecoming and Being an Early Childhood Professional, Second Edition is a Canadian text that lays the groundwork for students to understand their role as early childhood educators and its importance for the children they care for. It explores the history and current landscape of early childhood education in Canada, highlighting play-based learning supported by public policies and research evidence. This text focuses on three key themes: reducing inequalities, respecting children and expanding opportunities. Given the increasing significance of early childhood education programs and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, this title emphasizes the need for expanded investment in the field. It prepares future educators for diverse programs, encouraging reflection on personal talents, experiences and biases to enhance their ability to create effective learning environments for children.
