ABOUT US
Each branch of the Early Childhood Educators of BC is unique. Branches reflect environments, cultures, and leadership initiatives of individual members. Each branch seeks to create communities of support for professionals in our field. All branches support the work of the provincial office of our professional organization and are committed to upholding the organization's mandate:
The purposes of the Society are:
a) To advance education by providing scholarships, bursaries, awards and other forms of financial assistance to students undertaking post-secondary studies in early childhood education and care.
b) To advance and provide professional development opportunities in early childhood education across the province through workshops, conferences and seminars.
c) To educate and inform the public about early childhood education and care.
d) To engage in the research, development and dissemination of educational resources in early childhood education.
The ECEBC Victoria Branch is a collective of educators caring, thinking, engaging, reflecting, researching, and advocating for the early years throughout the geographical area of the Southern part of Vancouver Island.
We acknowledge, with great respect, the Coast Salish First Nations that have cared for, and continue to care for, the land, the water, the air, and the people indigenous to this earth. We are grateful for the continued stewardship and protection of these lands by Indigenous people, and allies. We commit to continually seeking ways to live more harmoniously and sustainably on this land.
We recognize the importance of our role as early childhood educators to promote connection to the land, and to challenge ourselves to work toward truth and reconciliation in our daily practice with children, with families, with communities, and with one another.
We gather on the colonized land of the following First Nations:
Songhees
