Many of these workers are self-employed or part of the gig economy with little or no access to traditional benefits through the employment insurance system.

The CERB is technically a taxable benefit. Every day early educators learn new ways to intervene and become involved when there are familiar and expected challenges. For example, perhaps a group of toddlers are struggling to share or a professional is working with a pre-K group of children who are busy asserting their independence and are ready for new challenges.
The same concept applies to the intervention provided when a child has a diagnosed delay. The early education provider is an integral part of this early intervention team and support network.
It is increasingly important for early educators to be empowered with the knowledge of what EI supports and services exist. The EI system is in place not only to provide specific support to the child and family, but to also ensure that this child is able to participate in community activities and experiences, including early education. Engagement in, and awareness of, early intervention not only informs best practice, it is a great way to be involved in hands-on professional development and to gain new ideas to implement in the early education classroom.
