This is a space for early childhood educators to learn, explore and grow together as a community.
It all begins at an early age.
Our view of ourselves, others and the world begins in our earliest years. These views set our course for the years to follow. As early childhood educators, the work you do today, shapes childrens’ futures.
This community aims to help you:
The future of our society begins with the next generation. Today and every day, early childhood educators are shaping tomorrow’s worldview.
"Investing in early childhood educators is an investment in the future of a happier and healthier Yukon."
Minister of Education Jeanie McLean
