We are heartbroken by the passing of Maureen. Fierce, passionate, and tireless in her fight for children and families—she was a force to be reckoned with. Her legacy will live on in all of us who continue the work she so deeply believed in. 💔 https://t.co/GN3CnfBpEe

Quality #ECE is critical to children but can only occur if we support ECEs in the important work they do. 'ActivePlay in childcare' is a FREE program providing PD to ECEs to enhance their confidence & competence to integrate active play into programs.https://t.co/tUYu9qZaYj
