Submission #2054

Some children just need a little more time, to get dressed, to settle in, or to work through big emotions like missing their parents. Those are the moments that matter most, and they can’t be rushed. Pedagogical Support staff make that possible; they can step in with the group, or support one child, so no one gets left behind. Without that role, educators are responsible for everyone at once, and those moments become harder to give. That time and care is what helps children grow, and it’s why full funding matters.
