About the Centre
The Early Childhood Collaborative Research Centre (ECCRC) engages families, as well as partners in policy and practice in research and evaluation to enhance early childhood well-being. The goal of the ECCRC is to ensure policy and practice are in place to support families across different early learning environments. Find out more about the Centre.

In the summer of 2023, Milena received a Scotia Scholar Award from Research Nova Scotia. Under the supervision of Dr. Jessie-Lee McIsaac, Milena spoke with early childhood educators across Nova Scotia who participated in the Culturally Responsive Practices professional development modules to learn more about how educators translated the knowledge gained in the sessions to their early learning environments. We are excited to share the findings of the study.
