The second focuses on issues related to children's learning, curriculum, and teachers.

Download or read book About Canada Childcare written by Martha Friendly and published by Fernwood Publishing. This book was released on 2016-07-01T00:00:00Z with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Canada, early childhood education and care includes childcare programs, kindergartens and nursery schools. When these programs are well-designed, they support children’s development and accommodate parents who work or study. About Canada: Childcare answers questions about early childhood education and childcare (ECEC) in Canada. Why doesn’t Canada have an ECEC system, even though other countries do? Why is ECEC so important? What is missing in Canada’s ECEC landscape and why? Can ECEC programs be designed as wonderful environments for young children or are they merely necessary but not particularly desirable places to keep children safe while mothers are at work? Is ECEC primarily a public good, a private family responsibility or an opportunity for profit-making? Early childhood education and childcare is a political issue, the authors argue, and Canada needs an integrated system of services. The absence of a universal publicly funded ECEC system is detrimental to families, women and children and Canada’s future. “This accessible and engaging book should be required reading for all early childhood education students. Students will get the ‘big picture’ of ECEC issues, politics and policy in Canada and learn what should be done to build a well-designed publicly funded universal system-there isn’t another book that does this.”-Dr. Rachel Langford, Director of the School of Early Childhood Education, Ryerson University.
