The CCHRSC worked collaboratively with a number of early childhood education and care (ECEC) employers who provided their expertise as well as samples of their HR resources, tools and templates. These have been added to the extensive toolkit content for broad use by the ECEC sector. A complete listing of all ECEC-specific tools and resources is available in the Toolkit Index.  Information and downloadable tools on this site are provided as a resource, to increase understanding of good HR practices, as well as provide practical solutions to HR challenges.

Sample tools are provided for reference only. It is important to consult current legislation in your jurisdiction to create policies and procedures that meet the needs of your work setting.
