Dartmouth Day Care ECEs - Member Statement

MS. CLAUDIA CHENDER « » : Mr. Speaker, I rise again on Child Care Worker and Early Childhood Educator Appreciation Day to appreciate the early childhood educators at the Dartmouth Day Care Centre. My three children have each spent four years being nourished, cared for, taught, and cuddled by this amazing staff. This incredible non-profit community daycare has been in operation for over 40 years and serves over 125 families in two locations: east Dartmouth and downtown Dartmouth.

In their own words, they provide a high-quality, inclusive early childhood program that includes diversity, cultural respect for community, and a holistic framework to support a nurturing environment for all children to reach their full potential.

Mr. Speaker, these women are heroes and I would not be here without them. Please join me in appreciating them.
