It’s Child Care and Early Childhood Educator Appreciation Day! Our Resource Consultant team got the party started a bit early by hosting an Early Childhood Educator Appreciation event on October 18. Our team invited Early Childhood Educators from licensed childcare providers in Huntsville and area to Sandhill Nursery Home and Garden Centre for a charcuterie social and seasonal centerpiece-making workshop. The evening was an opportunity to express gratitude for these important community partners and their commitment to inclusive education and inclusive learning environments for all children. We are grateful for our partners and for everyone who was able to attend! Thank you, too, to the District of Muskoka for dropping into our offices today with some beautiful sweaters for our Resource Consultant team – Yvonne, Karis, Kelsey, and Stacey – in recognition of the important work they do to support overall development and inclusion of children ages 18 months to 6 years. Please join us in honouring our skilled, awesome teammates, and all ECE and Child Care Workers for the work they do!
