We greatly appreciate the work of
Margaret Sadler, our copy editor
for her keen eye and thoughtful
feedback, and to Victor Bilodeau,
our first website designer. We would
also like to express our sincere
appreciation to Dawn Jensen, and
her team with HABIT, who patiently
worked with us to rename the
framework, design the logo and
create a functional and professional
appearance for the framework and
associated resources.
Research and
Development Team
We owe deep appreciation to the
educators, administrators, children,
and families at MacEwan University
Child Care Lab School, Jasper Place
Child and Family Resource Society,
Terra Child and Family Support
Centre, and Small World Child
Development Centre who worked with
us to document curriculum in action.
Their participation and insight made
the curriculum framework come alive.
We extend sincere appreciation to
our colleagues Cathy Smey-Carston,
Joanne Baxter, and MaryAnn
Farebrother in the Department of
Child and Youth Studies at Mount
Royal University for their support in
the development of the framework
and for leadership in piloting the
curriculum meaning-making
process in the community.
We are deeply grateful for the
ongoing support and guidance of
Pam Whitty and Sherry Rose from
the Research and Development
Team at the University of New
Brunswick Early Childhood Centre
and to Anna Kirova, our respected
friend and colleague from the
Faculty of Education at the University
of Alberta, who supported and
challenged us in ways that deepened
our development work.
