Government announces funding for child-care recruiting, retention in Saskatchewan
“The Government of Saskatchewan is committed to supporting the recruitment and retention of more Early Childhood Educators and group family child care assistants to our growing province,” Education Minister Dustin Duncan stated in a release. “Saskatchewan ECEs are essential to providing quality early learning and support for our youngest learners, and these grants aim to help promote and attract more people to the profession.
“This announcement is another step in providing resources to the Early Learning and Child Care sector as we move forward in building an ELCC system,” Saskatchewan Early Childhood Association executive director Georgia Lavallee stated. “This grant can help fortify our sector and support Early Childhood Educators in our province.”
Last month, the province announced an investment of $5.4 million for increased wages for ECEs and in August, the government announced free post-secondary training for ECEs.Saskatchewan government to fund free training for early childhood educators© 2022 Global News, a division of Corus Entertainment Inc.
