Government has announced a new Early Childhood Educator Grant to entice more workers into regulated child care spaces. Education Minister Krista Lynn Howell says this grant program addresses some of the feedback received from professionals in the childcare field on what is needed to attract and retain early childhood educators to the industry. As of September 1st, Early childhood educators who meet the eligibility criteria could receive $2,500 upon initial child care services certification. Further grants of $2,500 up to a total of $7,500 will be awarded following each three-year renewal of Level I to IV certification. The grant includes a commitment for recipients to work in regulated child care services in Newfoundland and Labrador.
Anyone who wishes to apply for available grants can apply to the association at ecebursary@aecenl.ca or 709-726-3044.
