OUR STORY

About the ECEHRC

The Early Childhood Educators Human Resources Council is a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to increasing recruitment to the Early Learning and Child Care (ELCC) workforce and improving retention of qualified early childhood educators by addressing identified human resource issues. 

The ECEHRC formed in 2009 to address the findings and subsequent recommendations of the report of the Industrial Adjustment Services (IAS) Committee on Child Care Workforce Recruitment and Retention (2007). 

Through the first ten years the ECEHRC focused our efforts on the development of the Introductory Guide to Human Resources Management in Licensed Child Care to address the need for administrative professional learning opportunities identified in the IAS (2007) report. This led to the creation of provincially held workshops which became the basis of CNA’s Advanced Diploma in Administration and Leadership.

In 2019 the ECEHRC released the Examination of Recruitment and Retention Issues within the Regulated ELCC Workforce in NL (2019) that provided a comparison to the baseline data obtained in 2007. 

Under the CWELCC Agreement our province negotiated a bilateral agreement which included the development of a wage grid. The ECEHRC obtained funding for a research project that culminated in an analysis and subsequent report on the ELCC Workforce, as well as to begin work on the Early Learning and Child Care Recruitment and Retention Publicity Campaign Project.

Moving forward, the ECEHRC is committed to collaborating with the diverse members and organisations of the ELCC sector in Newfoundland and Labrador to advocate for the current and future ELCC workforce, as per our mandate.
