Pictured here at a rally for the national day of action, the CRRU team (Gayaththiri, Martha, Jade and Alexie) are advocating for increased public funds to raise educator wages and increased capital funding to build equitable access to not-for-profit and public early learning and child care.

This paper, developed by CRRU (Martha Friendly, Ngọc Thơ Nguyễn and Matthew Taylor), considers data, research and policy analysis addressing who is left out of regulated child care, why they are left out and what needs to be done to make ELCC in Canada more equitable and inclusive. With strengthened, more diverse advocacy, better research and data and more definitively inclusive policy making, Canada is positioned to implement a truly accessible child care system for all.

Designed by Erin Filby of the Association of Early Childhood Educators Ontario, this advocacy tree is a visual representation of how different early learning and child care (ELCC) organizations relate to each other. CRRU is the roots of the tree because our research informs provincial, territorial and federal child care system building. The tree trunk is Child Care Now, advocating for a publicly funded, inclusive, quality, non-profit child care system across Canada. Branching upwards on the same branch are two stems, the AECEO and the OCBCC, who work closely together. The AECEO supports early childhood educators and advocates for fair compensation and decent working conditions in Ontario. The OCBCC brings allies together to advocate for universal, affordable, high quality, public and non-profit early childhood education and care in Ontario. We are connected to other advocacy and professional groups and lots of our work (the leaves) overlaps! What would the tree look like Canada-wide? #ChildCareAdvocacy #CDNChildCare #ChildCareON #ChildCareCommunity #EarlyChildhoodEducators #ECE #ELCC #ECEC
