Pay Raise Announced For Early Childhood Educators

Written by Bobby Nock. Posted in Local News

Early childhood educators in the province are getting a pay raise.  

Early Childhood Development Minister Becky Druhan made the announcement in Dartmouth today.

Most of the 2,600 early childhood educators will see a wage increase in the range of 30 per cent going back to July 4^th.

Today’s announcement comes after some daycare workers walked out at the start of the school year to protest how long it was taking to bring about a promised pay increase.

More money for workers in the sector is part of the federal government’s deal with the province to bring in $10 a day child care.
