Childhood Educators - Member Statement

MS. CLAUDIA CHENDER « » : Mr. Speaker, I'd like to rise today and recognize all the hard-working early childhood educators in this province and in my constituency of Dartmouth South. I sit in this Chamber today only because I know that my son is safe at Dartmouth Day Care with people who love him, and whom he loves, and that my daughters are also engaged, nourished and protected by the amazing teachers they are so lucky to have and whom I would also like to recognize.

Of course, my husband does play a part, Mr. Speaker, but without those supports I could not be here today as part of this historic caucus. I know that others are not so fortunate and so, last, I want to make sure to recognize all of those parents in our province struggling to find safe, compassionate, affordable care for their young children and to tell them that I am here working on their behalf.
