Early Childhood Educator (ECE) Week 2026

Early Childhood Educator (ECE) Week 2026

CUPE Manitoba recognizes and celebrates the Week of the Early Childhood Educator (ECE) in Manitoba.

The week of the ECE is an important week to recognize and thank all Early Childhood Educators in Manitoba who work tirelessly to support our communities’ children, youth and families.

To mark this important week, CUPE Manitoba shares a reminder to all CUPE Locals in Manitoba to extend a thank you to all Early Childhood Educators, Providers, and Child Care staff who are on the frontlines serving our communities and that Child Care is essential, and not just in times of crisis.

This week serves as an opportunity to recognize and celebrate the important roles that Early Childhood Educators have in supporting the social, emotional, physical, and intellectual development of children and youth, from the youngest of infants, to school age and beyond. CUPE’s Child Care workers keep our communities working, and they keep our communities thriving.
