Webinar on June 23rd: Growth of licensed child care under CWELCC – facts and lessons learned

| | |

In 2021, the federal government launched the Canada-Wide Early Learning and Child Care program with the promise to build, over time, a primarily non-profit system of low-fee, high quality, inclusive licensed child care for all children under age 6. Work was carried out through Child Care Now’s Growth by Design project to identify the opportunities and barriers to successful expansion of not-for-profit licensed child care services.

We invite you to join us for an online webinar, Growth of Licensed Child Care: Facts and Lessons Learned, to hear from child care policy researchers Jane Beach and Elizabeth Adamson as they report on the key findings of their multi-year investigation into the expansion of the system.

The project included in depth case studies of expansions in Nunavut, Newfoundland Labrador, Nova Scotia, PEI, Ontario, Manitoba and BC. The project was funded through Employment and Social Development Canada’s Early Learning and Child Care Innovation Program although the ideas, views and opinions that will be shared during the Webinar belong to the presenters and may not reflect those of the Government of Canada.
