Excerpt: "The government is investing $7.24 million to add a fourth step to the early childhood educator wage grid. “Early childhood educators play a vital role in shaping young minds, supporting families and building stronger communities,” said Education and Early Childhood Development Minister Claire Johnson. “Wage increases are essential to retain and attract skilled professionals, reduce turnover and ensure children receive consistent, high-quality care and education during their most formative years." The step being added to the grid effective Sept. 16 reflects a 5.5 per cent increase from step 3 for level 1 educators, and a 6.0 per cent increase from step 3 for entry-level educators. There will be no changes to the operator’s base wage contribution. The increase will be fully funded by the provincial government."
