Early Childhood Educators are the cornerstone to early childhood development and education. They are trained in early childhood education, and are specialized in child development and program planning/implementation. An effective ECE will: ensure that the environment and care provided promote the well-being of the children in their care; establish a working partnership with parents which supports their relationship to their children; develop and maintain communication with each child; plan and provide daily learning opportunities, routines and activities which promote positive child development; observe and respond to children's activity and behaviour; and support the development and learning of individual children within the context of family, culture and society.
Early Years Centres (EYCs): licensed; designated by the Government of PEI; have regulated parent fees; have trained and certified staff on a wage grid; follow an early learning curriculum framework. Private Centres: licensed, meet regulatory requirements such as safety, space, staffing ratios, and staff training; set own parent fees; select own curriculum.
