The Early Childhood field is in crisis in BC - many Early Childhood Educators are leaving the field
and it is difficult to recruit new people. Research shows and your voices tell us that this is
occurring because of wages/benefits that are too low to make a living wage. The Early Childhood Educators of BC believes that the benchmark of $20 an hour is a realistic entry level wage for early childhood educators.
 NEW: Wage Calculator & Wage Grid
The purpose of the wage calculator is to assist individual ECEs in calculating the difference in one’s current salary compared to making $20 per hour. The intent of the wage grid and the various job positions is to show an approximation of salaries commensurate with education and training. The grid is to be used as a guideline and not as absolutely definitive. We hope you find these tools useful and that they continue to offer opportunities for discussion with colleagues, co-workers, parents, boards and owner-operators. We would be delighted to have your feedback so please let us know.
