May 25 is Child Care Provider Appreciation Day in B.C. To recognize this important day, the Ministry of Education is extending gratitude to all child care providers across the province for the vital work they do, and sharing some helpful resources that support the delivery of quality early care and learning.
The
Early Years Indigenous Cultural Safety Resource Guide helps educators to provide culturally safe and respectful care. Professional development resources include the
Science of Early Childhood Development and the
Peer Mentoring Project for Early Childhood Educators in British Columbia. Additional information and resources are found on the
Early Learning website.
Accessible, affordable, inclusive, high-quality early care and learning in B.C. is essential for positive family outcomes and healthy child development. The dedicated child care providers in our province contribute every day to poverty reduction, gender equity and a thriving economy.
