ABOUT EARLY CHILDCARE EDUCATOR IN A RESIDENTIAL SETTING

ECE on the Move is a group of more than 600 early childhood educators working in residential settings in New York City. Sometimes called "home-based childcare" or "family child care," ECE on the Move prefers to use the term "early childhood educators" because it more accurately reflects the skill of the services they provide.

ECE on the Move was founded by Gladys Jones and Doris Irizarry, two veteran educators who were tired of the lack of respect and representation they were seeing in politics and policies that affected their industry. After more than 11 years of organizing providers, they formally established ECE on the Move in 2019. Through work before and since their formal founding, they have built a thriving community of early childhood educators that support one another.
