Humber College is located within the traditional and treaty lands of the Mississaugas of the Credit. Known as Adoobiigok [A-doe-bee-goke], the “Place of the Alders” in Michi Saagiig [Mi-Chee Saw-Geeg] language, the region is uniquely situated along Humber River Watershed, which historically provided an integral connection for Anishinaabe [Ah-nish-nah-bay], Haudenosaunee [Hoeden-no-shownee], and Wendat [Wine-Dot] peoples between the Ontario Lakeshore and the Lake Simcoe/Georgian Bay regions. Now home to people of numerous nations, Adoobiigok continues to provide a vital source of interconnection for all.
Humber College and the University of Guelph-Humber (Humber) are leaders in providing a learning, working and living environment that recognizes and values equity, diversity and inclusion in all its programs and services.

The HLOs are a cross-institutional learning outcomes strategy aimed at equipping Humber graduates with the employability skills, mindsets, and values they need to succeed in the future of work. To explore all the HLOs, please consult the Humber Learning Outcomes framework.
Play is the foundation of all learning in childhood. Healthy development is dependent on the opportunities presented to children in responsive, inclusive, play-based programs. Observation is a valuable tool for understanding and interpreting play and the holistic development of children. Historical and current theories and research will explore how the early childhood educator fosters the development of creativity and emergent literacy through play.
Children learn naturally through play. This is a well-documented and evidenced understanding of children’s development. This course supports students in understanding the value and complexity of play in children’s lives. Students are better able to understand how learning environments and experiences meet professional standards once a foundational understanding of play is established.
