The report reviews the status of children in Canada and the programs in place across the country. We recommend a range of policies that can be pulled together in an integrated, national family policy that makes sense. We recommend one program in particular, and that is child care. This report looks at the value and the costs of creating a flexible and integrated system of early childhood care and education that provides child care for those families with parents in the work force and early childhood education programming for all families who choose it - whether parents are in the paid work force or not. We then propose a way to put such a system in place.
