Be seen supporting the ECE sector.
ELCC & Community Development is Canada’s free national hub for early learning and child care. The directors, operators and pedagogical leaders who evaluate and choose software, curriculum and classroom products are here every week — and this is where they will find you.
A paid sponsorship program that keeps the hub free for the sector — always clearly labelled, never a paid rating.
Who partners with us
Built for the companies that serve early learning
If your product, platform or brand supports Canada’s early learning and out-of-school community, there is a place for you here.
Software & platforms
Child-care management, registration, attendance, billing, payments and point-of-sale — the tools programs run on every day.
Classroom & curriculum
Learning materials, equipment, books, curriculum and program resources that directors and educators choose for their rooms.
Sector partners & advertisers
Training providers, insurers, consultancies and mission-aligned brands who want to reach educators, leaders and families.
One trusted place — the exact audience you are trying to reach.
I built this hub after years in early learning and out-of-school care, watching brilliant educators and leaders search for things that should have been easy to find. So I gathered it all into one place, and I keep it free for the people doing the work. I fund it through partners who believe in the sector as much as I do.
When you partner with ELCC, you are not buying an ad from a faceless network. You are standing beside a brand and a mission the sector already trusts, in front of the exact people you want to reach.
Why partner
Four reasons the fit works
Be seen by the buyers
You appear in front of the directors and operators who evaluate, choose and renew the products their programs run on — the exact people with the budget.
Be known as a supporter
Educators remember the companies that show up for them, and they tell each other. Partnership builds the kind of goodwill an ad can never buy.
Be a quality choice
Appearing alongside curated, trusted resources signals that you belong in good company — and that a respected hub is glad to stand beside you.
Align with a name they trust
Stand beside a brand and a mission the sector already believes in — from coast to coast to coast.
What you get
Visibility, and trust you can stand behind
Featured placement
Your listing rises to the top of the pages the sector already reads, so you are seen first, not scrolled past.
Comparison spotlight
A sponsored slot on our platforms and product comparisons. Placement is sponsored; ratings are earned, never bought.
Newsletter & spotlight
Reach the community directly in the inbox and in featured articles that put your story in front of thousands.
Always transparent
Everything sponsored is clearly labelled, editorial independence is not for sale, and we never sell our community’s data.
