📣 Additional support means ADDITIONAL SUPPORT!! But wait times for the ISP have blown out as applications have increased, and services are waiting weeks if not months for funding. When funding runs out, Early Educators struggle to provide the help those programs funded. And too often, ISP educators are used in centres to cover breaks of other staff, and to meet minimum ratio requirements. This is not fair to either the educators or the child who needs and deserves support. The government must ensure children with additional needs are better supported, which will also reduce the workload burden on early educators.
