This process is long and extensive...our centre took one year from beginning to finish in redoing and changing not only the standards and quality of how the centre is run to how the staff respond to situations, best practice is used more now. Accreditated centres are approved by a provincial board. Any centred that was approved for accreditation status, the employee's that have a level 3 ( diploma in Early Childhood Education-ECE) received a $ 3.00 wage enhancement from the province. from money that was given by the government to enhance all ece employees. currently there are only 10 centres in the province that are accredited. and only 1 in 4 employees at these centres have their level 3.
