The JK/SK programs in Ontario are taught by ECE grads. My son's girlfriend went back to school to get her ECE because she wanted to make the switch from working with the developmental/behaviour students. The ECE's are not treated like the teachers with respect to pay nor do they get any prep time during the school day. She spent hours every night doing prep. Those primary classes do require a LOT of prep. She ended up quitting so she could have a life outside of school. The teachers resent the ECE's, it's a crappy system.
