This could be a consequence of the pre-service training provided to early childhood educators (ECEs). As such, this study investigated the quantity and content of inclusive active play offered within Canadian post-secondary early childhood education programs. An environmental scan and content analysis were conducted to assess course descriptions for 114 programs. Of the 2,610 courses examined, only 1% captured inclusive active play. Although content on disability inclusion and active play were captured uniquely, courses lacked intersections of these two topics. Future curriculum development is needed to support ECEs in the implementation of inclusive active play. Based on this research, four recommendations were provided. As Canada implements a new national childcare strategy, this study has implications for educators aiming to prioritize the inclusion of all children in high-quality care.KEYWORDS: Early childhood educationactive playinclusiondisabilitypre-service learning AcknowledgmentsThe authors thank Brianna Wallace (Undergraduate Student, University of Toronto) for her contributions to data extraction.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).","PeriodicalId":46566,"journal":{"name":"Early Years","volume":"15 10","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135818926","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
