Stories For and About Early Childhood Educators

The Children’s Early Years Division is celebrating the people behind early childhood education through the Strengthening the Early Years Workforce Project.

As part of this initiative, we're creating a travelling exhibit called Stories For and About Early Childhood Educators. Through real stories and photographs, the exhibit will highlight the meaningful role early childhood educators play in the lives of children, families, and our communities.
