Early Years Professional Development or EYPD (https://earlyyearsbc.ca/) is a professional development web portal that enables authorized training organizers to promote professional development opportunities for the early years sector throughout British Columbia.

BCcampus is developing, hosting and researching the Early Years Professional Development web portal (EYPD) in collaboration with a project advisory group composed of leaders from the early years sector. The aim of the project is to improve access to and help coordinate professional development in the early years sector in British Columbia.

This web portal research project is sponsored by the Provincial Office for the Early Years.

Find out more about the Early Years project on the About Us page.

Organizations that are publicly funded with regional, provincial and/or federal funds are authorized to post training events. Authorized Organizers are determined by the organization that they represent. Those who sign up as an Organizer may post training events at earlyyearsbc.ca.

Training providers who are not publicly funded or in partnership with a publicly funded education or research institute may request permission to become an Organizer on the EYPD web portal. Requests will be reviewed by the Provincial Office for the Early Years in order to determine whether the training objectives and content meet acceptable conditions that support the Early Years Strategy. If this applies to you, Contact Us to become an Organizer. Include the following information in your request:

1. Your name
2. Name of organization
3. Your organization’s web address
4. A list of training events with proof of connection with research or academic evidence
