3. The art and ethics of care - Carol Garboden Murray
What if care isn’t just something we do—but the most important part of how we show up for children? In this episode, Carol Garboden Murray invites us to rethink care as both an art and a science, full of rhythm, connection, and intention. We explore how everyday routines can become meaningful care rituals, and why relational care deserves to be taken seriously. It’s a powerful and hopeful conversation for educators ready to reimagine what it means to truly care.

01. A radical vision for children's right to participate and be heard - Marc Battle
Join us for a fascinating discussion with Marc Battle about radically rethinking children’s rights. How can we ensure children are truly heard, even when it comes to the construction of their own early learning programs?
Marc is an ECE instructor at Red River College in Winnipeg, who also works with Aboriginal Head Start programs. Marc first worked at Toronto’s Children Services, then at the child care centre at Durham College. For six years, he taught ECE at Northwest Community College in BC. Inspired by fellow ECE instructor Joan Turecki, he became interested in emergent curriculum, which builds on the children’s interests, and in incorporating a more artistic approach to child care programs.
He has been at Red River College since 2002. Marc is a passionate speaker on a variety of topics including risky play, rich learning environments, quality interactions, inclusion, and guiding children toward discovery of their full potential.
