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.

Publicly funded organizations (supported by regional, provincial and/or federal funds) may authorize their representatives to sign up as an Organizer and post training events.

Training providers who are not associated with a publicly-funded education or research institute may also request to become an Organizer on the EYPD web portal. Contact Us with your request and include the following information:

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

The Provincial Office for the Early Years will review all requests and determine whether the training being offered meets acceptable conditions that support the Early Years Strategy.

All training events listed on the EYPD portal have been added by publicly funded (with regional, provincial and/or federal funds) professional education and training coordinators in British Columbia.
