Voices From the Sector

I have always had a passion for teaching and helping others to learn from a young age. I began working in child care soon after completing college. Through the amazing supports of my family, career leaders, and coworkers, my passion grew and inspired me to complete my ECE diploma through apprenticeship. With all the support I have received, and continue to receive, I am now able to help others grow and develop in the child care field.

Mentorship is one of the most meaningful ways to support one another in early learning and child care (ELCC). At its best, mentorship is a shared, voluntary relationship built on trust and mutual respect.

Connections can begin in many ways. For example, newly Registered Early Childhood Educators (RECEs) often look to experienced colleagues within their workplace for guidance and support, naturally leading to informal mentoring relationships that foster growth and confidence in practice.
