New Skills in Early Childhood Education

“The Program is fantastic! The forms and application were super easy to complete, and the turn-around time for response from the administration staff was the fastest of any program we've ever applied to. The website was clear and we're thrilled with the assistance it provided to our small business.

Jayme is awesome. We love her enthusiasm and energy! She is such a quick learner, and so keen to get involved and to help out, and to learn as much as she can. We feel so lucky to have been able to bring her on, right when we needed her.”

- Talia Erickson, BA., BJH Daycare Administrator/Owner

Budding Children's Garden & Daycare is an innovative, licensed childcare that provides families with the ability to schedule play-based educational care for toddlers and preschoolers whenever they need it. Their web-based booking system is the first in Canada that provides flexibilities for families who don't need full-time care.

Through the Get Youth Working! Program, they were able to hire Jayme, a new toddler teacher, to handle all the new families registering during September. She is working with the daycare manager and, while she has many skills, she is being trained while on the job, learning new skills and implementing them in her work. Through the Program’s Supplementary Training Fund, Jayme was able to take the childcare-specific first aid training required to work in the centre.
