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?

We acknowledge that what we call Alberta is the traditional and ancestral territory of many peoples, presently subject to Treaties 6, 7, and 8. Namely: the Blackfoot Confederacy – Kainai, Piikani, and Siksika – the Cree, Dene, Saulteaux, Nakota Sioux, Stoney Nakoda, and the Tsuu T’ina Nation and the Métis People of Alberta. This includes the Métis Settlements and the Six Regions of the Métis Nation of Alberta within the historical Northwest Metis Homeland. We acknowledge the many First Nations, Métis and Inuit who have lived in and cared for these lands for generations. We are grateful for the traditional Knowledge Keepers and Elders who are still with us today and those who have gone before us. We make this acknowledgement as an act of reconciliation and gratitude to those whose territory we reside on or are visiting.
