10 Reasons to Choose Quality Early Learning and Child Care

Expert knowledge Early childhood educators are experts in child development and are trained to create inspiring learning environments!

Intentionality Early childhood educators provide your child the gift of time and attention. They will stop and explore the new flowers or jump in the mud puddles with your child.

Young at heart Early childhood educators know how to have fun! They’re not afraid to be silly and laugh with your child; all while nurturing your child’s creativity and helping to build their self-confidence.

Setting limits Every child needs reasonable boundaries, such as no playing ball inside. Early childhood educators set limits and support families in doing the same.

Love of literacy Early childhood educators read and tell stories, sing songs, and do puppet shows to inspire a love of language and to build early literacy skills.

Confidence boost Early childhood educators provide safe opportunities for your child to be independent and to become confident in their personality and decision making skills.

Inspired learning Early childhood educators ask open-ended questions to inspire creative thought and curiosity, to encourage children to explore, and to make learning fun.

Life skills Early childhood educators use their expertise to develop programs that use play as a tool for teaching math, literacy, science and essential life skills that last for life!

Making friends Early childhood educators are educated to appropriately support children to gain social skills, which are so important in making friends and developing positive relationships!

Helping hand Everyone gets stumped by parenting from time to time - juggling schedules, demands, and behaviours. When it gets tough and you need someone to talk to, reach out to your child’s early childhood educator!

Supervisors Network Meeting - Cannabis Workplace Safety for Employers

Since the legalization of Cannabis in Canada rules and rights in the workplace have changed. Old policies on illicit substances often no longer apply, creating new risks and situations that previously did not exist.

As an employer, you have the right to have a safe and effective workplace. This right must now co-exist with your employees’ rights to legally consume cannabis and be accommodated for its use related to medical conditions.

What is the right balance? What needs to be updated or changed in your substance use policies? How do you create cannabis safety programs and policies that are effective?

At this Supervisors Network meeting, we'll walk through an online WHMIS course that is clear and easy to understand and remember.

Employers will learn to:

Understand risk management and impairment management and the difference between the two
Explain the ineffective language of impairment in safely adapting to the legalization of cannabis
Understand and know the difference between effective and ineffective approaches to addressing employees’ consumption of cannabis
Understand that differences exist among federal, provincial, and local legislation/regulation regarding legal cannabis consumption
Recognize the most common problems and shortcomings in cannabis safety programs
Assess employers’ cannabis safety programs against the best practices
Access resources to improve programs and target issues in employers’ safety programs
Understand the most effective choice as an employer in a scenario about employees’ use of cannabis.

This network is open to all supervisors, directors, and administrators of licensed early learning and child care programs. Please note that registration is now necessary for all network meetings!

The ECDA has been supporting Directors and Supervisors for nearly ten years through the Supervisors Network. The intention of the group is to encourage open dialogue and knowledge exchange to enhance quality practices, such as human resource practices and policies, pedagogy and leadership.

If you have any questions about the Supervisors Network, please contact Sonya Hooper at 902-368-0070.
