An ECE's Role in the Care of Children and Families

This session with Amy Sullivan is a is a reoffering from our Fall Conference 2025.



Do you ever wonder "does what I do really make a different?" Together, we will unpack your role as an ECE in the care of children and their families. We will dig into your image of a child, your image of a family and your image of an educator. Through a power point presentation, open discussion and interactive experience you will learn about things like attachment, self regulation and co regulation. Let's get back to our roots and answer the questions, "does what I do really matter?"

Her two adult children, Simon (20) and Hannah (24) are well on their way into adult hood and she currently lives with her three feline fur babies. Her passion for Early Childhood started as a young girl and she ended up graduating from Holland College with her ECE in 2000. She has since continued on her path of supporting individuals of all ages by graduating with her Counselling Skills diploma in 2017 followed by receiving credentials as a Registered Counsellor in 2018. Throughout her career, both as an ECE and Counsellor, Amy has had the honor and privilege to support early childhood educators for over 20 years. Amy believe that lifelong learning is a gift and is happy to be a part of it with all her interactions.

In addition there will be a log tracking which members contribute and which do not, and those that do not actively engage in breakout groups or contribute to meaningful discussions will not receive PD hours. We ask that you leave your camera on for the session.
