SAINT LUCIA CELEBRATES EARLY CHILDHOOD PRACTITIONERS’ DAY AND ADVOCATES FOR SECTOR SUPPORT

Saint Lucia will celebrate Early Childhood Practitioners’ Day this Saturday, September 20th, recognizing the vital role educators play in shaping the island’s future. As the first point of contact outside the home, these practitioners help lay the foundation for children’s social, emotional, and cognitive development — a crucial step in preparing them to thrive in an ever-evolving global education landscape. The National Association of Early Childhood Practitioners is calling for stronger support and investment in the sector to ensure every child has a chance to succeed.
