Title
Challenges in Early Learning and Child Care for Quebec's English-speaking Community
Abstract
Early childhood education and care (ECEC). Early learning and child care. Nursery school. Preschool. Daycare. Centres de la petite enfance (CPE). There are many names and acronyms, but they all refer to the care and, ideally, educative care of young children in the years before compulsory elementary schooling. Modern wisdom views such programs as essential, and yet, in Quebec, English-speaking families face unique challenges in accessing them. This research brief explores these barriers, current efforts being made to address them, and potential solutions.
