Karen Wright: Supported Child Care Worker, North End Day Care, Halifax, Nova Scotia; Coordinator, Canadian Union of Postal Workers’ Summer Camp

Karen Wright credits working in child care with “stopping my aging process.”

Child care organizations are complex. Early childhood educators form collaborative partnerships with children’s families that honour their role as the child’s primary caregiver, respect their parenting practices, and provide meaningful opportunities for families to determine their children’s early learning and care experiences.

Surveys collecting information about employee compensation, including salary and benefits, are commonly called salary surveys. Salary surveys are conducted with numerous employers to determine pay levels for specific job categories and are generally conducted either by region, sector or job classification for the purposes of comparability.

 

Providers must be at least 18 years old, must complete the Canadian Child Care Federation Family Home Day Care Training (Level One), hold current first aid and infant CPR certificates, provide criminal reference and child abuse registry checks, and participate in ongoing professional development training.
