As the regulator of the profession, our mandate is to protect the public interest and support practice excellence. As part of that mandate, we contribute to broader discussions to help ensure that Ontario families have access to high-quality early learning provided by qualified, professional educators.
We make recommendations to government on proposed changes to legislation, provide data and participate in consultations specific to the implementation of the Canada-Wide Early Learning and Child Care (CWELCC) Agreement, including sharing with government the issues that are affecting retention of RECEs in the profession.
