Co-developed Statement for May is Child Care Month

BC Aboriginal Child Care Society (BCACCS), Early Childhood Educators of BC (ECEBC), Métis Nation BC (MNBC), and the Coalition of Child Care Advocates of BC (CCCABC) - while different organizations with distinct mandates, we recognize our shared priorities and stand together, with a stronger voice, to advocate for all Early Learning and Child Care professionals across British Columbia.

We begin by offering gratitude for the places where this work is happening, the traditional territories all across this land, and recognition of the inherent rights and jurisdiction of Indigenous governments and governing bodies over the care and education of young children.  This gratitude and recognition are critical starting points, as we celebrate May as Child Care Month and acknowledge the significance of quality early learning and child care as a service that is essential to the health and well-being of community.
