On December 3rd, I sponsored a small webinar providing an assessment of how Ontario -the province I live in – is doing in the implementation of the Canada-Wide Early Learning and Child Care program (CWELCC).
It’s a bit of a misnomer to call it “Canada-Wide” because every province and territory is implementing this program differently. Some are making good progress, others not. So, I wanted to figure out for myself how I would judge Ontario’s efforts so far.
I sent out two slide decks to participants. The first reviews the basic regulations and the structure and responsibilities of institutions responsible for different aspects of ELCC in Ontario. The second slide deck pulls together evidence about progress implementing CWELCC in Ontario.
SLIDE DECK #1 – ONTARIO’S CHILD CARE RULES AND INSTITUTIONS
SLIDE DECK #2 – EVALUATING ONTARIO’S IMPLEMENTATION OF CWELCC
If you click on this link, you can access the video of the hour and a bit long webinar.
There is a caveat to this presentation. A couple of days after the webinar, Ontario posted its 2025 annual report on early learning and child care in Ontario, which can be used to update some of the data I present in this webinar. I haven’t taken this new report into account in this presentation.
See you next year.
