Early Childhood Development Association

Early Childhood Educators are not babysitters. They're the professionals you trust – when it matters most. We're proud to share why @CCCF_FCSGE @EducationPEI #CdnChildCare

Affiliates from @CCCF_FCSGE were invited to present to PT ELCC Senior Officials on workforce initiatives, perspectives and challenges/opportunities in Canada. We thank them all for their work in supporting the ELCC workforce! @ECDAofPEI @HCCAO #ECEsAreEssential

Thank you Island Early Childhood Educators! As we celebrate Early Childhood Educator Appreciation Week from February 5th to 9th, we extend our gratitude for the invaluable contributions Island ECEs make to the lives of children and families on PEI.

Check this out #StratfordPEI! This is a great way to learn about the social and emotional needs of children - and this 8-session course is FREE!

Congratulations to our friends at MSVU!

Today, in advance of the #NationalDayforTruthandReconciliation, I made a statement in the @SenateCA: youtu.be/MjXSwDyMD9c. #NDTR #NDTR2023

Wages for Early Childhood Educators in Early Years Centres across the province will increase on October 1. Perhaps it’s time to consider a career in this growing sector? More details here: earlyyearspei.princeedwardisland.ca/join-profession

We had a wonderful round table meeting with Minister @JennaSudds and @NatalieJ_PEI yesterday! ECEs from across the Island met to discuss a wide range of topics, including: what ECE’s and centres are in need of, the new wage increase, and of course the new pension plan!

@JennaSudds Thanks for the great visit yesterday!

Thank you @JennaSudds for making the time for frontline Early Childhood Educators yesterday! We look forward to working with you and @NatalieJ_PEI as we continue to support the ELCC system on PEI!

Just announced: We’re making further investments in Prince Edward Island’s child care system. We’re helping the province create more than 300 spaces in their Early Years Centres and increase wages for early childhood educators in those centres. More here: tinyurl.com/3wks264v

Thank you @KarinaGould for being a champion for Early Learning and Child Care!! The ECDA welcomes @JennaSudds to the role and looks forward to the continued ripples we will make together as we support ECEs and families!

It's the era of the Early Childhood Educator!
