Become a Registered Early Childhood Educator
Registered Early Childhood Educators (RECEs) inspire, educate and care for our youngest learners
The “heartwork” that professional RECEs do every day is essential to the developing brain.
The first few years of a child’s life establishes the foundation for life-long learning.
By delivering high-quality, inclusive play-based learning and care programs, RECEs help children, families and communities thrive.
Ready to influence the next generation?
We need good people like you who can make a difference in our children’s futures.
Choose the path to the RECE career that is right for you.
