Innisfil proclaims Childcare Worker and Early Childhood Educator Appreciation Day

Whereas years of research confirm the benefits of high-quality early learning and child care for young children’s intellectual, emotional, social and physical development and later life outcomes; and

Whereas childcare promotes the well-being of children and responds to the needs of families and the broader community by supporting quality of life so that citizens can fully participate in and contribute to the economic and social life of their community; and

Whereas trained and knowledgeable Registered Early Childhood Educators are the key to quality in early years and childcare programs—in licensed childcare, Early ON programs, child life programs, and full-day kindergarten; and

Whereas Registered Early Childhood Educators and child care workers will be vital to the success of the Canada-wide Early Learning and Child Care system;

Therefore, I, Mayor Lynn Dollin, on behalf of the Town of Innisfil, hereby proclaim October 24, 2024, the 24th annual “Child Care Worker & Early Childhood Educator Appreciation Day” in recognition of the education, dedication, and commitment of childcare workers to children, their families, and the quality of life of the community.
