The AECEO serves our members and the ECE community by:Building the capacity and leadership of ECEs to advocate for their profession and the children and families they care for.Participation in advocacy and advisory towards the provincial government and other decision makers to promote the quality of programs through increased recognition and compensation for ECEs.Raising and disseminating ECEs’ questions and concerns arising from new policies and programs and changes to current systems.Collecting, analyzing and circulating relevant policy and research with a particular focus on implications and opportunities for the ECE workforce.Supporting ECEs to connect with each other and to become more knowledgeable about the policies and systems that impact their daily work.Working with partners to advocate for a high quality, publicly funded early childhood education and child care system that serves children from 0 – 12 years old, one that provides professional wages and working conditions for the ECE workforce. The reopening of child care in Ontario during the COVID-19 pandemic has brought  many challenges and concerns for educators, families, parents, and child care allies. The Association of Early Childhood Educators Ontario and the Ontario Coalition for Better Child Care hear these concerns and are working to advocate for the safe and effective reopening of child care in Ontario, while considering the needs of children, parents, families, and educators. Recently we spoke with over 1,000 parents and educators, to build cooperation between these two groups of natural allies. We trained hundreds of ECEs and parents to meet their MPPs, to share their experiences, and use their power to directly influence change-makers. We know this strategy is effective - as we saw with the campaign to save the Wage Enhancement Grant, your stories moved politicians to action. Lastly we rallied in the thousands, virtually and in-person, raising our collective voice so that the needs of educators, children, and families are amplified as the Province moves to reopen child care. There is still more to be done, and we need to continue to work together, our collective voice is louder with you - we are stronger together. read moreOntario deserves better! ECEs, early years staff, and operators have been long ignored by the Province. During the closure period we asked for communication, transparency, and consultation in developing a reopening plan. We didn’t get it - despite the OCBCC and AECEO Report and Recommendations, From Reopening to Recovery.Children, families, and educators deserve safe, quality programs when they reopen – and this takes funding and time. The Province’s 'reopening plan’ missed the mark. We demand and deserve better.Thank you for joining the Association of Early Childhood Educators Ontario, the Ontario Coalition for Better Child Care, the Atkinson Centre for Society and Child Development, and your colleagues from across Ontario on Friday, June 12 at 11 am for a Virtual Rally for Child Care as we raised our collective voice and took collective action together.Here is a link to the Virtual Rally video on facebook: https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=3021619907956397And you can tell Premier Ford and Minister Lecce that the Ontario government is setting child care up to fail in reopening by signing on to the Ontario Coalition for Better Child Care's open letter HERE.
