Round 1

Imagine if educators had the support they needed to learn and apply new skills, and be valued for their work. The ECE Lab is guided by this idea and we engage with partners across Atlantic Canada to make it a reality.

The question that guided this lab.

How might we support educators in getting qualifications in ECE while working to deliver quality early learning and childcare?

ECE Round 1 Showcase

This community showcase was the culmination of the 2-years of the ECE Lab, where we brought together lab participants to share their experiences, insights and lessons learned from the ECE Lab and the prototypes we tested. In this video, you will hear about what we learned and how the lab has contributed to a sense of energy in the ECE sector. It was a chance to celebrate the work of the four provincial teams, as well as announce the next phase of the project to evaluate and enhance retention and recruitment of early childhood educators in Atlantic Canada.
