The Changing Landscapes of Early Childhood Education

The opportunities and challenges of integrating early childhood education and school systems.
What do you think?

CCCF supports the integrated model in principle; it can build a strong and seamless system that will enhance services for children and families and give our young children a chance for optimal development.

Early learning and child care must have a strong, informed voice over the coming months and years. CCCF is committed to being engaged in the development of a high quality system informed by this plan. As a national organization with provincial and territorial affiliate organizations, the Canadian Child Care Federation plays a key leadership role for ELCC in Canada.

We are pleased to offer links to resources and opportunities to participate in online discussions about this emerging topic.
 

We want to hear from you!
CCCF wants to hear your thoughts and will maintain and moderate discussion on its facebook page. We invite you to share your reflections and suggest weblinks and other important information on shaping a high quality integrated education system for children 0-12 years old that will support all children in Canada to reach their full potential.
We have collected and posted a variety of resources to provide you with background on this issue and insight as to how it’s being implemented across Canada. For more information visit our Initiatives section
