Description: Employers – including administrators, executive directors, managers, supervisors and boards of directors – are a key target audience for addressing the human resources challenges facing Canada’s early childhood education and care (ECEC) sector. However, there is currently no consistent national policy or approach to early childhood education and care in Canada, with each province or territory maintaining its own system of regulation, funding arrangements, and policy. In turn, the sector contains a wide range of employer governance models and employment settings and the context in which employers work varies by province and territory. As a result, there is a of lack information at the pan-Canadian level regarding the range and type of employers in the sector and their related human resource needs. The Supporting Employers in Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC) project was developed to address that issue.
