Employer Models in Canada's ECEC Sector was developed to complement the overall project research findings and bring different governance models to life in a series of descriptive articles. Directors, executive directors, and owner-operators from across the country contributed their knowledge and experience by participating in extensive interviews throughout spring and summer 2008.The result is a series of 14 articles that explore a variety of different programs and models, while sharing innovative practices and key challenges from the employer perspective. The environment in which ECEC employers work varies widely across the country. As a result, these articles reflect just some of the many diverse setting and contexts in which ECEC employers work.
