Occupations in ECEC

There are three main occupations in Canada’s ECEC sector:

1.      Early Childhood Educator (ECE)

When most people hear the term compensation they think about "what a person is paid", yet this is only one aspect of a complex topic. Compensation includes not only salary, but also the direct and indirect rewards and benefits provided employees in return for their contribution to the organization.
