Registered Early ​Childhood Educators (RECEs) demonstrate professionalism in their relationships with children, families, colleagues and the communities in which they practise. They are reflective and intentional professionals who engage in continuous professional learning. RECEs collaborate with others to ensure high-quality early childhood education. All RECEs, regardless of position or title, are leaders.​ (Standard IV: A, Code of Ethics and Standards of Practice)
