Alberta’s ECE Certification Guide has been updated

The Government of Alberta has released a new Certification Guide for Early Childhood
Educators.

Most of the changes are administrative and are meant to make the guide clearer and easier to
use. However, there are a few important updates ECEs should know about.

What’s new?

Reassessments and reviews: There are changes to the processes for asking for a reassessment
or review of a certification decision.
Conduct requirements: The guide provides more information about the conduct expected of
certified ECEs. It also explains ECEs’ responsibilities to report certain information and meet the
requirements needed to keep their certification.
Terms and conditions on certificates: Terms or conditions may now be added to an ECE’s
certificate when there are serious concerns about following the Early Learning and Child Care
Act that impact the health and safety of children in care. This gives the Certification Office
another way to respond to serious situations, including some situations that do not result in
criminal charges.
Certificate security: The guide also includes information about new security features on ECE
certificates.

What should ECEs do?

Take some time to review the new guide, especially the sections about:
• keeping your certification in good standing;
• conduct requirements;
• what information you need to report; and
• reassessments and requests for review.
The updated guide is intended to help ECEs and employers better understand Alberta’s
certification rules and processes.

Questions about your individual certification should be directed to the Childcare Staff
Certification Office, [email protected].

Not every workday starts at 9, and not every workday ends at 5. We understand that families need flexible hours that work around their routines.

That's why we offer extended hours from 6:30 am until 8:00 pm. We support healthcare professionals, shift workers, and busy families who need reliable care throughout their day. Our goal is to provide a safe, welcoming environment where children can learn, play, and feel supported while parents have peace of mind knowing their little ones are cared for.

Flexible childcare helps families balance work, responsibilities, and everyday life.

During this hands-on art and science activity, our preschoolers explored what plants need to grow. We talked about how plants grow in soil, reach upward toward the sky and light, and need light to grow. The children represented these ideas in their artwork by using brown paint for the soil and blue paint for the sky. They painted their paper plates with brushes and then used prepared coloured-paper elements—carrots and green leaves—to create their own carrot gardens. Using glue, the children arranged and attached the carrots and leaves, showing how carrots grow in the soil while their green leaves reach upward.
Through painting, gluing, arranging, and discussing the different parts of the garden, the children developed fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, creativity, concentration, and spatial awareness. The activity also supported early science and cognitive development as children connected their artwork with their understanding of how plants grow. Conversations about soil, sky, light, carrots, and leaves encouraged language development and introduced new nature-related vocabulary. The multi-step process also supported children’s ability to follow directions, make choices, and independently complete their artwork.
