What is an Early Childhood Educator?
Early Childhood Educators (ECEs) are specially trained to understand
child development. They learn how to provide guidance to children
and how to create stimulating environments for children to explore
and interact.
ECEs can work with infants as young as 3 months old, toddlers,
preschoolers, or school age children up to 12 years. They can work
in group child care centres, nursery schools or family child care
homes. They are part of a team that partners with parents to help
children develop to their full potential.
