Episode Details

Albertas new child care grant program, the Early Childhood Educator Workforce Supports Program, offers professional development funding but only for a limited list of approved workshops and conferences. Educators must complete 720 hours of work over two years to qualify, raising concerns about the exclusion of key needs like supporting neurodiverse children and Indigenous learning. The changes have led to a significant drop in income for workshop providers and sparked advocacy efforts, highlighting tensions between standardization and diverse child care realities.
