Three ECE Workers

Meghna (pictured on left) is an Early Childhood Educator at a one of our Sarnia YMCA Child Care Centres. She shares that the Y welcomes international students when others do not, making it feel like home. It’s true - at the Y, we wholeheartedly believe that everyone belongs—whether you're staff, a volunteer, a member, or a program participant. Shine On Meghna and thank you for all you do!

On Thursday, October 24, we celebrate the 24th annual Child Care Worker and Early Childhood Educator Appreciation Day. This day is dedicated to recognizing the unwavering commitment, skills, and hard work of Early Childhood Educators (ECEs) and staff who play a crucial role in shaping the lives of young children.

ECEs are at the heart of high-quality, affordable YMCA child care, which has been life-changing for countless families. Thank you to all the ECEs and child care workers for your dedication, care, and commitment to fostering the development and growth of our children. You are truly amazing and we deeply appreciate everything you do!
