Preventing At-Risk Behaviours in Young Children Within Early Learning Environments

Winter 2021

The purpose of this project is to better understand the key components of successful interventions that have aided early learning professionals in preventing at-risk behaviours in young children. Durham Region’s rebuilding the village project looks at interventions for at-risk behaviours in children five years of age or younger. This project looked at early childhood education curriculum in the Greater Toronto Area to see where there are courses that are teaching interventions for at-risk behaviours, and if not where the gaps are and what can be done to better help early childhood educators identify at-risk behaviours. A manuscript is being prepared for publication.
