The Committee also believes that training must be both transferable and portable across Canada and supports the development of national training standards. The Committee believes that enhanced options must also be explored and provided for family child care home governance. A broader board governance role would help to ensure the effective and efficient use of resources for child care facilities. It would also facilitate community planning and the inclusion of child care as part of both urban and rural economic development. The Committee supports an integrated service delivery model, whereby child care services are established as part of community partnerships with continued input from families.
Child care is the cornerstone of healthy child and family policy.
Its vital role in building a healthy society requires further promotion to the general public.
