Questions about how child care services will be expanded to move toward greater, more equitable access have become pivotal in light of Canada’s commitment to build a universal child care system. CRRU’s new publication series, Moving from private to public processes: A series on creating child care in Canada (2022), consists of an overview and eight short papers covering key aspects that can contribute to effective child care expansion strategies. The series is based on a longer CRRU publication Moving from private to public processes to create child care in Canada (2020), which has been revised and redeveloped in an accessible series format to reflect current Canada-wide ELCC policy developments.
