With the expertise of Gillian Doherty as author and with the support of a review committee some of whom participated in the development of the original statement, CCCF has developed an updated version (published June 2007) of the National Statement. It describes a vision of quality child care that applies in all service delivery models.

Anyone working in licensed child care has to apply for certification. You will find certification information for your province or territory on our child care certification page.
With your resume and cover letter ready (we’ll provide guides for this soon), contact child care centres and introduce yourself! You can call, email, or even message them on social media. Don’t be discouraged if you don’t get a reply. Try again a few days later to give them your resume in person. Remember that due to safety reasons you need to call first. Tell them you live in their area, and that you’re looking for a position.
On our provincial and territorial map we link to child care associations in your area. Follow the link to your association and join today. The associations provide valuable information to anyone starting out in their career. Even experienced ECEs can benefit. You’ll also enjoy valuable member benefits like discounts, meet other ECEs, and become a part of the child care movement in Canada.
If you join your provincial or territorial affiliate, you’re automatically also a member of the CCCF.
All licensed and regulated quality child care programs in Canada require these for the safety and security of children and families.

Early Childhood Educators (ECEs) are incredible professionals that have rewarding, important and demanding careers. They work with young children (and their families), ages 0-12, nurturing and educating them, observing and planning for their growth and development while ensuring that they are healthy. They create interactive and dynamic learning environments where children develop social skills, develop cognitive skills and foster lifelong learning. ECEs work in child care centres, classrooms, home child cares, preschool, and parent drop-in programs. You do not need a teaching degree to be an ECE, but you do need your ECE diploma.
