Think about all the people that you come into contact with in your work life: colleagues, board members and other volunteers, clients, the general public and so on. With this large network of people connected to your organization, learning how to work well together is vital.

 

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.

The CCHRSC office will close on February 6, 2013. As of March 2013, sector councils will no longer receive operating funds from the federal government (HRSDC's Sector Council Program). As it is not possible to continue the CCHRSC without compromising the standard and caliber of work produced, the CCHRSC Board has made the difficult decision to dissolve the organization at that time. 

The purpose of this section of the toolkit is to provide directors and others working in early childhood education and care (ECEC) with a general introduction to HR metrics, which are simply a unit of measurement of human resources. Here you’ll find ready-to-use tools and templates that employers can use to begin collecting and tracking their organization’s HR metrics.
