On October 21st, 2026, the Toronto District School Board will join others in celebrating the 26th Annual Child Care Worker and Early Childhood Educator Appreciation Day. The TDSB recognizes that the early years of a child's life has an enduring impact on their future learning as stated in the TDSB Early Learning and Care Policy. Early Childhood Educators and Child Care Workers provide enriching, age-appropriate learning experiences for children in Child Care and Before- and After-School Programs, EarlyON Child and Family Centres, Kindergarten classrooms, and TDSB Extended Day Programs.
This year’s Child Care Worker and Early Childhood Educator Appreciation Day theme, Care Counts, recognizes the vital role that care plays in supporting children's learning, well-being, and development. This infographic highlights Early Childhood Educators in the TDSB and the important work they do with children and families across Toronto each day.
