Representing diverse voices and perspectives from within the RECE community, RECE Advisors are early educators just like you who volunteer with the College to share their insights and expertise on a variety of subjects related to the practice of early childhood education.
The College deeply values the input of RECE Advisors to inform our work and guide us in enhancing the profession in meaningful ways.
Projects or initiatives that RECE Advisors may participate in can include communications initiatives, entry to practice and registration projects, professional practice topics (including the Continuous Professional Learning Program): professional regulation subjects or data and research projects.
Since RECE Advisors participate primarily remotely, they can connect with us from anywhere in the province!
In January 2025, we welcomed a new group of RECE Advisors to the College. Here’s a look at the contributions they’ve made so far.
- In April, the College reached out to RECE Advisors for feedback on the draft resource Preventing Professional Dishonesty, and their responses helped shape its clarity, relevance, and alignment with the realities of the sector. RECE Advisors helped ensure the resource reflects the diverse experiences of RECEs. This collaborative input strengthened the final version.
- In May, the College reached out to RECE Advisors who are in their first five years of membership, to better understand their experiences as new members of the profession and ways the College can enhance supports. This will help to inform the College’s work related to supporting new members that focuses on strengthening relationships across the profession, clear and transparent communications, streamlined resources, and opportunities for connection.
- RECE Advisors were also invited to share feedback on a draft Professional Advisory: Practices that Harm Children. Their feedback helped to highlight strengths of the draft resource, while also identifying key areas for improvement and clarification. RECE Advisor insights have contributed to ensuring that the professional advisory reflects diverse voices, experiences and knowledge, helping to make it more inclusive and representative of the profession. Stay tuned for publication later this year.
The College thanks the RECE Advisors for their commitment to early childhood education, and for contributing their expertise to support the advancement and ongoing learning of RECEs in Ontario.
