Library
Welcome to the AECEO Policy Library. This is a collection of resources for ECEs, child care workers, students, researchers, and anyone interested in learning more about Ontario’s movement for decent work and pay for early learning and child care. In this limited and curated space, we host a selection of key documents related to the work of the AECEO to share with our community. This includes AECEO policy documents and annual reports, Care in ECE content, and more!
