Nunavut-developed ECE Resources

July 26, 2019

Department of Education and Qikiqtani Inuit Association (QIA) announce new, Nunavut-developed early childhood education resources are being shared with child care facilities across the territory. “I am proud to share these early childhood education resources which reflect our language and culture,” says QIA President, Akeeagok. “These puzzles, toys, and books allow our children to learn, play, and imagine themselves in a world that celebrates our Inuk-identity and mother-tongue.”

The QIA-developed resources will accompany the Department of Education-developed resources which are being distributed to 55 licensed facilities, including after school and preschool locations. $1.8M (Fed) + $700K (QIA) over 3yrs
