The purpose of the public register is to help the public identify whether a person practising early childhood education in Ontario is a member of the College, check a member's registration status, and verify whether there are any restrictions on their practice. If an individual is listed as in "Good Standing" on the public register, they are entitled to work as an early childhood educator in Ontario and to use the protected titles "Early Childhood Educator" (ECE) or "Registered Early Childhood Educator" (RECE) and their French equivalents, “éducatrice / éducateur de la petite enfance” (EPE) or “éducatrice / éducateur de la petite enfance inscrite” (EPEI), to describe themselves and their profession.
The contents of the College of Early Childhood Educators (the College) Register are frequently being updated. While the College endeavours to ensure that the information posted on the Register is current, accurate and complete, without limiting the generality of the website terms and conditions, the College does not represent, warrant or guarantee that it is and accepts no liability or obligation relating thereto.
