Barley Risotto and Kimchi: A Culinary Crossroads| SaltWire #food #cookingshorts #kimchiA sobering report on the perspectives of early childhood educators in Newfoundland and Labrador was released on Thursday, March 28, 2024.

76 per cent of ECEs in for-profit daycares feel the government does not view them as educators .The survey was commissioned by the Jimmy Pratt Foundation and the Newfoundland and Labrador Federation of Labour in collaboration with the Workers’ Action Network and local childcare researchers. “The first is to continue with the status quo, where getting a childcare spot is like winning the lottery. The second is to step up provincial funding for the ECE workforce and make Newfoundland and Labrador the best place to work in Early Learning and Childcare. In the process, we’ll create thousands of childcare spaces and hundreds of stable, professional jobs. Why wouldn’t we do the latter?” she said.

“I am a level 2 with 19 years of experience, and I am very disappointed with the wage grid. … The pay difference between 19 years of experience and 0 years of experience is $1.56 for level 2; that is pathetic,” said one ECE quoted in the report.
