We are thrilled to announce that the Association of Early Childhood Educators of Alberta (AECEA) has been approved for funding under the Women’s Capacity Fund! This grant will enable us to strengthen our organization and expand our capacity to support and amplify the voices of early childhood educators (ECEs) across Alberta.
With this grant, we will:
- Develop governance and HR frameworks to enhance decision-making and organizational stability.
- Hire new coordinators to improve community engagement and advocacy efforts, ensuring ECEs’ voices are heard.
- Build a robust data management strategy to better support ECEs and inform sector-wide improvements.
AECEA believes that quality early learning and child care (ELCC) is essential for all Albertans and that qualified early childhood educators are the foundation of a strong system. Our ability to engage, plan, and amplify the voices of ECEs depends on the size and strength of our membership.
We are honoured to amplify educators' voices and champion that ELCC is a vital part of society. Stay tuned for updates as we bring this vision to life!
