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!

As a thank-you for the tireless commitment shown by PEI ECEs throughout the changes and advancements to our sector, the ECDA has planned a workshop with a very special guest, ata very special member rate.

We are pleased to announce that THE Jeff A. Johnson of Explorations Early Learning will be joining us on September 9th for a one-day workshop (plus lots of added bonuses, details below) that digs deep into stress & burnout! 

The best part? Current members who are attending the 2017 Fall Conference can register for this workshop for only $10 (!!!).

Be the Boss of Your Stress and Burnout 
with Jeff A Johnson
September 9, 2017 (following the Annual General Meeting breakfast)
Approved for up to 8 hours of on-going training by the ELCCB.
Registration now open.

Working with children can be very rewarding, but it can also leave you emotionally and physically drained at the end of the day. There are times where your smile is forced, your last nerve is being tested by an energetic toddler​, and you feel like life is spinning out of control. ​This interactive session with Jeff A Johnson will offer you a better understanding of why caregivers feel stress and burnout, and you'll walk away with concrete ideas to help you take control.

BUT WAIT, THERE’S MORE!!! This isn’t just a one day event.

  • The first 90 registrants will receive a copy of Jeff's book, Finding Your Smile Again, (CAD $25 value) which he wrote as a tool for caregivers after he burnt out adecade ago and was unable to find ECE-specific resources to help him get back on track professionally. 
  • Registrants will have access to a closed online discussion group before AND after the event, to connect anonymously and start the conversation on stress and burnout. Hosted & moderated by Jeff.​

Why all this before & after business? Well, change is hard, but it gets a little bit easier when you have a support system. All too often caregivers attend a training, leave with good ideas, and never implement them because change is hard. Jeff's goal is to create a support system that makes it a bit easier.

So, are you feeling stressed or burnt out? This is the event for you. And if you're a current ECDA member who's going to the 2017 Fall Conference this year, it's only $10. Registration is open. To secure your seat and your copy of Jeff's book, register now!
