Between 1992 and 2023, the Childcare Resource and Research Unit (CRRU) has developed thirteen versions of ECEC in Canada. This 13-report series is unique in a number of ways. As such, it has to date reliably served as Canada’s sole source of consistently collected and presented, cross-Canada, longitudinal data and information about regulated child care, kindergarten and parental leave.
