The state of early childhood education and care in Canada 2010:  Trends and analysis in pdf format.

This comprehensive report, the 8th edition since 1992, provides key data on child care and kindergarten across Canada. It tracks spaces, finances, quality issues and public policy developments at the provincial/ territorial and federal levels, includes demographic information such as mothers' labour force participation, and identifies trends over time.

Early childhood education and care in Canada, a compilation of cross-Canada data on child care, kindergarten and other key information, has been published about every two years since the early 1990s.

The Childcare Resource and Research Unit has periodically assembled Canadian data to produce a national snapshot of early childhood care and education. The seventh edition of Early childhood education and care in Canada presents 2005 and 2006 data. These data - together with data compiled for earlier editions - 1992, 1995, 1998, 2001 and 2004 reveal trends in ECEC over a decade and a half.  Earlier versions of ECEC in Canada are also available for download.
