Canada's early childhood education and care policy: Still a laggard?

ABSTRACT
Canada's early childhood education and care (ECEC) system has fared poorly in recent international comparisons. Its laggard status can be attributed to the "liberal" character of its social policy regime and to the federal structure of the Canadian state. This paper argues, however, that there are signs of change. While these are currently most visible in certain provinces, the issue of creating an effective pan-Canadian ECEC framework is still very much alive on the federal agenda.
Key words: early childhood education and care, federalism, liberal regime
