Canada's Child Care Workforce
Most workers in the regulated child care sector are included in Canada's National Occupational
Classification E217.
This classification describes the work of early childhood educators and assistants:
- "Early childhood educators plan and organize activities for pre-school and school-age children.
Early childhood educator assistants provide care and guidance to pre-school children under the
supervision of early childhood educators. Early childhood educators and assistants lead children
in activities to stimulate and develop their intellectual, physical and emotional growth. Early
childhood educators are employed in child-care centres, kindergartens, nursery schools and centres
for exceptional children. Early childhood educator assistants are employed in day-care centres and
nursery schools. Early childhood educators who are supervisors are included in this group."
