Peer Mentoring Program

The Peer-mentoring program started in Kamloops in 2018 as a pilot project and ended in 2020 with 17 peer-mentoring groups across BC. The Peer-Mentoring program, by partnering with ECEBC envisions that this funding will expand the network and increase the impacts of peer-mentoring. The purpose of this project is to support the ongoing professional development needs of both new and experienced Early Childhood Educators. It specifically aims to expand the current infrastructure of support for Early Childhood Educators to slow the number of ECEs who leave the field. Educators will help each other navigate their work lives while providing that much-needed support making ‘peer-mentoring a foundational part of B.C’s early childhood education landscape”. This program aims to leave a legacy for Early Childhood Educator's experiences and how communities of practice can support the ongoing professional identity needs of Early Childhood Educators.
