We value early childhood professionals

Celebrating Child Care Worker and Early Childhood Appreciation Day on October 21

We’re recognizing all EarlyON, Peel Inclusion Resource Services (PIRS), and licensed child care professionals in Peel.

Early childhood professionals are essential to our community. They provide young children with a strong foundation to grow into caring, thoughtful citizens.

On October 21, our main Peel Region buildings in Brampton and Mississauga will be lit up in blue to celebrate Child Care Worker and Early Childhood Educator Appreciation Day.
