“In Kindergarten classrooms that have an educator team, with a teacher and an early childhood educator, the team members have the benefit of a collaborative and reflective partnership. Educator team members have complementary skills that enable them to create a nurturing and stimulating learning environment that supports the unique needs of each child. While an educator team will reflect the uniqueness of its members, the hallmark of all successful partnerships is an atmosphere of mutual respect, trust, and open communication.”
(Ontario Ministry of Education, 2016, p. 98)
“Teachers and early childhood educators work together to plan and implement the program… They collaborate in observing, monitoring, and assessing the progress and development of the children and in communicating with families.”
(Ontario Ministry of Education, 2016, p. 98)
