"Now is a good time to get into early childhood education, not as a job, but as a career. There's support and incentives from government, your community and from other early childhood educators. It's magic right now. It's definitely a good time to be an early childhood educator."

– Adele Petri, ECE II, Stonewall

 

"It's not babysitting. We offer activities daily that promote or foster physical, cognitive, social, emotional development. So, for people who think we are just daycare, there's so much more to the career than that."

– Louane Vielfaure-Trudeau, ECE III, La Broquerie
