AECEA Believes that CHILD RIGHTS MATTER
Did You Know...The Alberta Child Care Licensing Act and Regulations (Licensing) expired on January 2021?
AECEA Recommends:
- Recognizing the rights of children in the preamble to the act.
- Recognizing that high-quality early learning and child care is a critical component of the education to which every child has a right.
- Amending the Child Care Licensing Regulation to incorporate the Get Outside and Play organizations' recommendations for outdoor play including.
- Increasing the amount of outdoor space required for children in licensed early learning and care programs
- Instituting minimum daily outdoor playtime requirements
These changes will help to protect the rights of Alberta's children and ensure that they are able to play outdoors and enjoy nature.
Ask: How will the new act and regulations reflect the rights of Alberta's children?
