Question:
The Early Childhood Educators Act, 2007 (the ECE Act) defines the practice of early childhood education as:
The Early Childhood Educators Act, 2007 (the ECE Act) defines the practice of early childhood education as, "the planning and delivery of inclusive play-based learning and care programs for children in order to promote the well-being and holistic development of children, and includes, (a) the delivery of programs to children 12 years or younger; (b) the assessment of the programs and of the progress of children in the programs; (c) communication with parents or persons with legal custody of the children in the programs in order to improve the development of the children; and (d) such other services or activities as may be prescribed by the regulations". The ECE Act protects the public interest and the integrity of the early childhood education profession by stipulating that "no person shall engage in the practice of early childhood education or hold himself or herself out as able to do so unless the person holds a certificate of registration issued under this Act". The professional practice of RECEs is not restricted to the definition within the Act. RECEs may have additional experience or qualifications that enable them to work in a variety of roles and settings. Not all RECEs work directly with children, but nevertheless impact children, families and the profession through administrative or leadership roles in the early learning and child care sector.
