Early Childhood Educators are Essential - MCCA Video
Taken from the MCCA Website
We are so very excited to share this!
Earlier this year, MCCA began working with Abraxas Studios to develop promotional videos that a) support the benefits of being an MCCA member and b) promote early learning & child care as a profession. In March 2020, due to COVID limitations, we had to temporarily stop production. But, great news, we resumed filming in July!
The videos will be a perfect visual opportunity to remind others (the policy makers, the business community, other sectors and the public) why reliable early learning & child care is essential in Manitoba. Investment into child care results in numerous economic and socioeconomic benefits as well as, having significant positive, life long, developmental impacts on children.
In addition to the two main videos, we will also be developing five short digital stories that demonstrate how early learning & child care affects Manitobans throughout the province and in various sectors including business, health care, and education, as an example.
As a teaser to this series, please enjoy this incredible video.

Hand Washing Policy
As per our Center policy's, please be sure to wash your and your child's hands upon arrival to the center. This will help us to prevent the spread of infection. During the day our Staff work hard to teach the children proper hand-washing techniques. Please help us stop the spread of any germs, by following our policy's! Thanks!
Improving our Play yard !!
We all enjoy spending time in our play yard all year round. We love to drive our cars, play in the sand box, making castles and pies. We love to garden, and we love to climb. We are looking to reduce the amount of plastic and add more nature elements for the children to climb on and play with. Please contact Erin if you would be able to help or know of someone who would. Thanks!
