2010-106
Lewis Hodgson-Bruce Campbell
The Council for the Village of Burk’s Falls passes said resolution to
endorse a day of recognition E.C.E. Staff Appreciation Day.
Whereas years of research confirm the benefits of high quality child
care for young children’s intellectual, emotional, social and physical
development and later life outcomes; and
Whereas child care promotes the well-being of children and responds to
the needs of parents, child care workers and the broader community by
supporting quality of life so that citizens can fully participate in and
contribute to the economic and social life of their community; and
Whereas many studies show trained and knowledgeable Early Childhood
Educators and Child Care Staff are the most important element in quality
child care, and that good wages and working conditions are associated
with higher job satisfaction and morale, lower staff turnover which
leads to high quality education and care;
Therefore Be It Resolved that October 27, 2010 be designated the 10th
annual “Child Care Worker & Early Childhood Educator Appreciation Day”
in recognition of the education, dedication and commitment of child care
workers to children, their families and quality of life of the
community.
