This	 paper	 examines	 the	 commonly	 held	 notion	 that	 early	 childhood	 educators	 (ECEs)	 “don’t make	 good	 advocates.”	 While	 most	 childcare	 advocates	 interviewed	 in	 this	 qualitative	 study disagreed	 with	 this	 blanket	 statement,	 informants	 had	 reservations	 about	 the	 scope	 of advocacy	 in	 which	 ECEs	 could	 and	 should	 engage.	 They	 made	 clear	 distinctions	 between “silent,”	 “small	 a,”	 and	 “big	 A”—or	 micro/meso/macro	 level—advocacy.	 Furthermore, informants	 from	 both	 Manitoba	 and	 Ontario	 appear	 to	 suggest	 that	 ECEs	 are	 best	 suited,	 able, and	 willing	 to	 carry	 out	 “small	 a”	 advocacy	 (though	 there	 was	 some	 variation	 in	 this	 finding by	 province).	 Guided	 by	 the	 political	 economy	 of	 care,	 this	 paper	 critically	 examines	 the etiology	 and	 sociopolitical	 consequences	 of	 advocacy	 carried	 out	 by	 ECEs	 primarily	 at	 the micro	 level.	 Insights	 into	 how	 ECEs	 may	 be	 able	 to	 expand	 the	 scope	 of	 advocacy	 beyond	 the micro	 level	 without	 compromising	 or	 undermining	 their	 professional	 identity	 are	 explored.
