Language, play central themes at Indigenous childcare conference in Sudbury

All-Nations Childcare Gathering Conference in Sudbury focuses on language revitalization, blending culture and play in early learning. Madison Marier reports. The annual All-Nations Childcare Gathering Conference began Wednesday with laughter and enthusiasm as early childhood educators gathered for a three-day event focused on nurturing Indigenous youth. The conference runs for two days in Sudbury before concluding on Manitoulin Island. All-Nations Childcare Gathering Conference All-Nations Childcare Gathering Conference kicks off in Greater Sudbury, Ont., on July 16, 2025. This year's theme, 'Nurturing our children and fostering language revitalization,' highlights the critical role of language in early learning. Melanie Francis, an Indigenous early years educator, explained the conference's evolution: 'Initially, it was just Indigenous early educators, but we've branched out to all educators working with Indigenous families. Each year has a different theme, but this year is all about language.' The event provides a space for early childhood educators or ECEs to reconnect with their playful side, fostering creativity to inspire the next generation. Beverley Roy, the president of Kenjgewin Teg, emphasized the importance of hands-on learning: 'In the sector of early learning, it's very hands-on and experiential. Including our craftspeople and artisans is a big part of early learning. It has to be that whole experience of how we see, feel, think, and experience the whole learning journey. So, having artisans here makes perfect sense.' Wednesday's keynote speaker, Dr. Pamela Rose Toulouse, stressed the integration of culture and play in child development: 'The most important thing is to combine language, culture, play, and inquiry. Those are foundational – play, curiosity, and inquiry are embedded into Anishinaabe worldviews about how we raise our children.' The conference reinforces the vital role of early childhood educators in preserving Indigenous culture and ensuring children grow up with pride in their heritage. Roy added, 'That's the role of early learning educators. We need to celebrate them, lift them up, and recognize them. They are so critical in all of our communities in Ontario.' The All-Nations Childcare Gathering continues tomorrow with workshops and cultural activities aimed at empowering educators and strengthening Indigenous early learning practices.
