The Survey on Early Learning and Child Care Arrangements, sponsored by Employment and Social Development Canada, gathers information from parents and guardians on child care arrangements for children aged 0 to 12 in the provinces and children aged 0 to 5 in the three territories of Canada. The survey asks parents and guardians about the arrangements they use for their child, including the associated costs, the difficulties they may have faced when looking for care, and what their preferences for child care are. Results from this survey will be used to help improve the Canada-wide early learning and child care system and provide Canadians with a strong baseline of data to measure progress and changes to the system.
