We are currently working on the following five intersecting focus areas. With these as our key priorities, we aim to attract, support, and retain a qualified workforce, engage and collaborate with all stakeholders, ensure that the CLA is financially stable and well governed, and is positively contributing to a thriving, vibrant community.

WORKFORCE

We aim to work with the whole community to help ensure a stable, committed, and engaged early childhood and school-age care workforce can be attracted and retained.

ACCOMMODATION

We work to seek innovative solutions to provide educators with stable, affordable, and accessible housing.

STRONG GOVERNANCE

We are committed to having a well-governed, effective, and professional Board leading the CLA.

FINANCIAL STABILITY

We aim for the CLA to have stable and sustainable finances to ensure the CLA can continue to operate, and that we can seek and provide financial support to benefit members.

STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT

We are committed to engaging and collaborating with all of our stakeholders. We aim to provide a strong return on our donors’ investments, and we seek to establish and nurture mutually beneficial relationships. We are also committed to advocating for the early childhood and school age care sectors.
