@EnswellJones Um, it’s Terminator.

[Lea Blust @BlustLea]

@James_Breakwell Probably the safer option.

@rebeccakschulz Wow. Way to devalue ELCC as an essential strategy for families and the economy.

@mbingley @NirmalaNaidoo @dinnerwithjulie Fully agree

@kelsieswrites @CabinBrewing Cabin beers are so good! I love their winter darks.

@dinnerwithjulie 🤯

@kelsieswrites @sorryimsadpod These episodes are lovely. Sad is not a sufficient word to hold the grief, joy, love and gratitude held in these conversations. And, for someone who has the privilege of not having to know about MAID, valuable information and understanding.

#ECE isn't just about #economy & getting parents to work. It should be #child centred, high quality, & publicly supported/funded. Benefits of high quality #ECE has ripple effects. Economic benefits WILL happen as a side effect of high quality care. Children should remain first.

@PLanneville @RachelNotley Conditions that will assure equity of access and high quality early learning and care to children. I don’t feel comfortable paying for something that has no oversight and is not regulated, like private daytime babysitting. Qualifications lead to quality, this is a child’s right

@mikesbloggity You could basically have just said “Remember going to a friend’s house... what a RUSH!” .... ah, pandemic life.

@EGruenwoldt @cafreeland Just because it doesn’t directly benefit you doesn’t mean you are getting the finger. Has it taken too long to get here? Yes. Does that mean it’s not worth it any more? NO!

@pancholi_rakhi Sadly, this was part of the reason I quit ballet at 6. Who the heck wears green in a ballet class in the 80’s? I hated the pinching and have never worn much green.

@rebeccakschulz I’n not sure whose feedback was listened to, because the feedback of researchers and experts in early learning and childcare from across Alberta is not represented in these new Regulations.

[Lea Blust @BlustLea]

@ED75Green @pancholi_rakhi @AECEA_ Children are in daycare whether or not the educators have the 60-hour course or not. $25/day supports one part of the system so we can focus on another.

[MaryAnn Farebrother @MafElcc]

Great response AECEA! #ChildCareMattersAlberta @rebeccakschulz #ECEforCanada
