The Canada - PEI Bilateral Agreement on Early Learning and Child Care was signed earlier this fall. Since that time the Department of Education, Early Learning and Culture has been working to mobilize the agreement.
As we proceed, we will keep the sector up to date on new opportunities and initiatives as they come on stream. We will do this through direct email and the weekly ECDA “Week at aGlance” E-Newsletter. As new Programs and or initiatives will be posted on the Education, Early Learning and Culture website at https://www.princeedwardisland.ca/en/information/education-early-learning-and-culture/new-investments-2017-2020.
