A special interest group of Canadian Society for the Study of Education
continuing the vibrant exchange of ideas among those passionate about
early childhood research in Canada.
CAREC embraces a broad, inclusive perspective on early childhood. Rather than a strict age or grade range, we aim to bring together individuals from diverse disciplines who share a commitment to fostering more just, equitable, and livable childhoods. We welcome members and submissions from early childhood educators, early years teachers, researchers, policymakers, instructors, professors, graduate students, and others interested in early childhood research.
CAREC's objectives are
​
-
To promote research in the field of early childhood education in Canada that honours and respects a wide range of ways of knowing, including Indigenous knowledge systems and diverse perspectives.
-
To facilitate collaboration and knowledge exchange among early childhood educators, researchers, policymakers, instructors, and others interested in early childhood research in Canada and globally.
-
To encourage diverse modes of scholarly expression and dissemination that contribute to the advancement of knowledge in early childhood education.
-
To bring together members whose disciplinary commitments may be diverse but who maintain a common interest in creating more just, equitable, livable childhoods.
