Manitoba access to the Science of Early Child Development (SECD) resources is part of Manitoba’s Action Plan, under the Canada-Manitoba Early Learning and Child Care Agreement for residents of Manitoba. In order to access them you must do so from a computer or device located in Manitoba. Outside of Manitoba, people can learn more about the Science of Early Child Development, including a free preview and how to access Science of Early Child Development resources, by visiting the SECD website: scienceofecd.com

Accessing Science of ECD

Gaining access to the SECD modules is simply a matter of clicking on any of the module links. However, the first time you click to enter one of the resources your browser will display an alert box asking your permission to share your location using geolocation, a function in modern web browsers that can identify a general geographic location. Click affirmative to the alert box prompt on your first visit and that is it, you are in. As long as you use the same computer or web device you should not need to confirm your location again.

Frequently Asked Questions

As described above, the SECD MB Access uses “geolocation” to determine whether the device you are on is located in Manitoba. Sometimes a device or browser misidentifies the location. Instructions on how to improve your device’s location accuracy for Google maps can be found on Find and improve your location’s accuracy. If you continue to have trouble please contact us at support@scienceofecd.com
The Manitoba initiative is not a course but rather the open access is available to five SECD resources that are like “multimedia books”: two large living textbooks (North American Ed and Introductory Ed) and three individual modules (Child Development Primer in English and French and the Prenatal Development Module). These resources can be used for your own learning (professional development, self-study) and for teaching others. If you are interested in taking a course or workshop, please see the next question.
SECD online courses are offered through Red River College Polytechnic. Visit the SECD course registration page for more information. SECD  online workshops are offered in partnership with other professional organizations. Visit the SECD workshop information page for more details.
Although SECD is not a profit-making venture, it does cost money to develop, maintain, and stay current.

Outside of Manitoba, you may preview the resources or purchase access at scienceofecd.com
