Subject: Early Childhood Educators / ECE salaries 
A commonly told Canadian story about why ECE teachers are leaving their profession.
Many ECE teachers have completed an undergraduate degree at university. Some have completed a Master of Education or PhD degree as well. The average K – 12 teacher’s salary is well above the typical ECE salary. Recent Vancouver rates being offered to ECE teachers are as low as 18,000 – 20,000 per year. This is $5000 – $7000 less than the average starting salary ten years ago.
If we value our children and want them to have enriched educational opportunities, why don’t we, as a society, value the people who will help these children start their school careers?
