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.

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!

Directors' Tip of the Week: The Case of the Disappearing Wait List

August 22nd, 2016


Every now and then, families call around to the child care centres they have signed up to on the PEI Early Learning and Child Care Registry to check on their wait list status. While the ECDA recommends that no family's position should be revealed to them by the centre director (due to a number of reasons), what if they aren't on the list at all?

Since the ECDA began the 90-day deactivation process last year, many families who are no longer looking for care have been removed from the registry. This automatic deactivation has saved directors and families alike from numerous unnecessary phone calls, as families rarely give the ELCC Registry much thought once it has done its job and they have found the care they needed for their children.

However, families who are still looking for care but forget to log in once every 90 days can also become deactivated (after several warning emails and a final email notifying them of this deactivation).

If you do receive a call from a family who is still looking for care, but they do not appear on your wait list, nobody should panic! The account has likely been temporarily deactivated. To reactivate the account, simply ask that family to log in to their ELCC Registry account, and then refresh your wait list and the child's name should immediately reappear in its original position. Be sure to ask them to log in once every 90 days for as long as they are looking for care!
