AECEA Believes that EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATORS MATTER
Did You Know...The Alberta Child Care Licensing Act and Regulations (Licensing) expired on January 2021?
AECEA Recommends:
- Phasing in a two-year diploma in early childhood education as the new minimum standard for educators in all parts of the regulated system.
- Requiring early childhood educators to develop personalized educational upgrading plans that outline the pathways they will take to meet the new minimum standards.
- Providing early learning and child care education through public post-secondary institutions and recognizing Indigenous colleges and universities.
- Requiring ongoing credential maintenance. Include ongoing professional learning as one requirement for certification renewal.
These changes will help to give early childhood educators the respect and recognition they deserve.
Ask: How will the new act and regulations support qualified early childhood educators?
