Submission #2319

As a parent, my child’s development and well-being will always come first. I am deeply concerned that funding cuts could negatively impact our children. Every day, educators face a wide range of situations, and with the support of pedagogical assistants, classrooms and activities are well prepared. These assistants play a crucial role in filling the gaps when ECEs cannot manage on their own.

Daycares on PEI already face a shortage of teachers, and without proper support, classrooms may become harder to manage. As parents, we want our children to be in stable, nurturing, and high-quality learning environments. I strongly believe that cutting funding in early childhood education is not the right approach.

I sincerely hope the government will reconsider and reverse this decision. Investing in early childhood education is an investment in our children’s future, and it should never be compromised.
