Fonds F1779 - Association of Early Childhood Educators Ontario (Kingston Branch) fonds

The Nursery Education Association of Ontario (NEAO) was established in 1950 in response to the absence of government regulation and formal facilities for training in early childhood studies for day nursery staff. The NEAO was active in the training and certification of preschool teachers. In 1969, the NEAO changed its name to the Association of Early Childhood Education Ontario (AECEO). In 1996, AECEO changed its name to “Association of Early Childhood Educators Ontario” to reflect its role as the professional association and voluntary regulatory body for Early Childhood Educators in Ontario.
