Our community is becoming more aware that children begin learning right from birth, and it is very important that parents and early childhood educators are providing early learning that supports positive child development. We know that parents are a child’s first and most influential teachers, but many children are also supported in their development by other caregivers, including childcare educators. As part of this, the month of May has been proclaimed Early Childhood Education Month, and the government has specifically proclaimed May 8th Early Childhood Educator Appreciation Day.
“The importance of early childhood education cannot be understated,” Deputy Premier and Education Minister Gordon Wyant said. “This is an opportunity to show our appreciation to those who support Saskatchewan families by delivering care and education to our province’s early learners.”
Saskatchewan Rivers Public School Division celebrates the important work that Early Childhood Educators do for our children and our community. The division also wants to encourage parents to connect with and support childcares in our community in providing environments that are not only safe and caring, but also rich in learning opportunities. Celebrate the May 8th with a salute to an Early Years Educator!
