Occupational Standards: ECE Profiles & Administrator Update (2013)

This project ran from March 2012 to March 2013. Building on the previous Occupational Standards for Child Care Administrators (2006) and Occupational Standards for Early Childhood Educators (2010), the project focused on:

  • Creating updated Occupational Standards for Child Care Administrators that fully reflect changes in the scope of the occupation since the first version was released in 2006.
  • Creating a school-age profile that defined the knowledge, skills and abilities required to work effectively in this specialized area of ECEC. This profile complements the existing Occupational Standards for ECEs.
  • Expanding the Infant Care Profile created as part of a pilot project in 2010.

This project led to the creation of the following major resources:

  1. Occupational Standards for Child Care Administrators
  2. Occupational Standards for Child Care Administrators: Task Profile Chart
  3. Occupational Standards for Early Childhood Educators: School-Age Care Profile
  4. Occupational Standards for Early Childhood Educators: Infant Care Profile
  5. Updated Occupational Standards for ECEs Task Chart identifying tasks added or expanded on in the Infant Care and School-Age Care Profiles

Despite the dissolution of the CCHRSC it is hoped that the CCHRSC`s research and tools will continue to be widely used to advance human resources issues in the sector. In turn, all organizations and individuals conducting research and/or offering ECE training, professional development, and other workforce development initiatives are authorized to download, copy, and distribute CCHRSC documents as needed, provided no fees are charged to end users and provided appropriate acknowledgements are made. Organizations and individuals are not authorized to download, copy, and distribute CCHRSC materials for profit.
