Advocacy in the Early Years – Virtual Event
January 29 @ 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm
The Association of Early Childhood Educators Ontario (AECEO) is your professional association. Our mission is to build and support a strong collective voice so that ECEs can create and participate in positive change that benefits children, families, communities, and ECEs. We fight for respect, recognition, professional pay, and decent working conditions for all members of the early years workforce. Through our work, we strive to create caring spaces where ECEs can be, learn, and grow together through reciprocal relationships.
On Wednesday January 29th, from 6:30-8PM, the AECEO team will be virtually visiting your community and we hope that you will join us! This will be an opportunity to learn more about the work of the AECEO, what we do as the voice of ECEs in our province, and what advocacy looks like in the early years. We will network, share experiences, and be in community with other early years professionals. See you there!
