Early childhood educators (ECEs) in Nova Scotia will be getting a wage increase in April 2024 as part of the provincial government’s efforts to recognise the employees in the sector.
Starting April 1, ECEs working in provincially licensed and funded child-care centres and family home agencies in Nova Scotia will get an hourly increase from about $3.14 to $4.24.
The provincial government said on Wednesday that those working as inclusion coordinators, such as assistant directors, directors, and family home consultants, are covered by the wage hike.
