Child Care: for profit versus non-profit

“… it has become apparent that the issue is not only conglomerates vs.“mom and pops” but a more fundamental one about whether early childhood education and care should be a product (like shoes, chocolate or cars) to be marketed to young children or parents as customers or should it be a public good like elementary education, guaranteeing access as a right and fundamental to how the society organizes itself.
This project aims to gather and develop resources to inform and encourage Canadian dialogue on this important public policy issue. 
To this end, the Childcare Resource and Research Unit (CRRU) has gathered pertinent documents available online and in print. CRRU will also develop and make available resources on this topic such as a comprehensive bibliography of key research. The project will be ongoing and the website will be updated on a regular basis….more about the project ”
