That's what I'm saying! Should be at least 2 per day, so how many days have they actually been provided for? #onted

[Kelly Williams @kellywilli]

How many N95s for teachers? One for each day? I’m hearing 2. So enough masks for 2 days. Clowns.

I could quite literally write a book on design features to include in outdoor classrooms! Most important? Don’t try to replicate the indoor classroom! Kids don’t need desks outdoors 😵‍💫 Design to enhance opportunities for loose parts play & then add more loose parts & a garden 🌱!

If the mental health of students is priority #1 then the government needs to infuse the education system with social workers, psychologists and Child and youth workers.

[Shannon Sveda @CanadianECE]

Would love to hear the "real" numbers when it comes to PPE. I know speaking in millions make things sound impressive, but I'd rather know how that number translates to actual protection. What's the number allotted per education worker? Enough for 2/day? For how long? #onted

This is some seriously intense "hold" music they have playing as we wait for Lecce's announcement #onted

We may have paused our in person programming at the moment, but I want to remind you that forests are still open!

Spend some time with your little ones in the woods, even when it’s cold out. Dress in layers, pack extra mittens and bring a warm drink!

We are incredibly disappointed that @fordnation and @Sflecce have not acknowledged the work of ECEs and #childcare workers/providers and are not protecting their health and safety. #childcarematters

[CMHA Ontario @CMHAOntario]

For all those who are parenting during this pandemic and feeling exhausted, please know that you are not alone. Check out these #mentalhealth tips from @kidsmentalhlth on parenting during this difficult time: https://t.co/ENCnoGY8Dg #cymh

[Ontario Coalition for Better Child Care @ChildCareON]

Once again @fordnation ignores the needs of the child care sector, but expects them to start providing emergency child care with no notice and no support. It's not even shocking any more that our provincial government is incapable of leadership & governs by chaos. #ONpoli

[Compass ELC @Compass_ELC]

So since there was no mention of child care, is it safe to assume that child care operators and municipalities will now need to scramble to offer emergency child care for front line workers? @Sflecce When will N95 masks arrive for our teams? What other measures will we see?

[AECEO @AECEO]

We are so proud of our amazing community organizer and all round super hero Erin who brings so much energy, passion, empathy, knowledge and expertise to our work for ECEs and our professional pay and decent work project!

[City of Hamilton @cityofhamilton]

Early Childhood Educators and Providers make a difference in the lives of children, and enable parents to return to work and keep our economy going. THANK YOU for being Champions of Children! #ECEAppreciation #HamOnt
