Quality Roots – Yukon ELCC Programs, is a project of the Network for Healthy Early Human Development Yukon (NHEHD) that provides resources to promote the quality of ELCC programs for children and families. Access to the Science of Early Child Development (SECD) resources is part of this project.
In order to access the resources, you must do so from a computer or device located in Yukon. Outside of Yukon, 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 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 YT Access uses “geolocation” to determine whether the device you are on is located in Yukon. 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

This Yukon initiative is not a course. 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.
