Description

The Canadian Child Care Worker Survey (CCCWS), sponsored by Employment and Social Development Canada, collects information from centre-based child care workers on factors related to the workplace and staff well-being. The survey collects information on current and recent child care centre workers. The survey aims to better understand how these factors influence the recruitment, retention and recognition of child care workers.

This information will be used to inform research, policies and programs related to the child care workforce. Results will be produced at the National and Provincial levels.

Reference period: 2026 for child care workers working in the sector at the time of collection, 2024-2026 for child care workers not working in the sector at the time of collection.
