Early childhood educators (ECEs) in Alberta share common experiences, challenges, and joys. Due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, AECEA understands that you have a lot of concerns, both related to the children and families you work with and to your own livelihood. Many educators have reached out to us seeking information and additional clarification to support their decision-making during this crisis. AECEA is working hard to get answers from government and ensure key messages about the value and importance of our early childhood workforce are communicated. People want to connect, to feel less alone in their struggles and to hear about new and innovative things that are happening in early childhood education during this unprecedented time.
