Science of Early Child Development (SECD)

Free province-wide access to a Manitoba portal for SECD resources is available under the Canada-Manitoba Early Learning and Child Care Agreement.

In order to access SECD resources, you must do so from a computer or device located within Manitoba.

SECD brings research and concepts to life with hundreds of readings, videos, links, questions for reflection, and interactive activities. This content includes topics such as early brain development, the impact of early experiences on a child’s well-being, children’s rights, the importance of play, and much more.

These interactive and up-to-date early learning resources are valuable for professional development, post-secondary education, parent education and staff training and anyone interested in early human development.
