The research rationale for, and social and economic benefits of, effective public policy required to achieve universal access to high quality, affordable child care will be shared primarily with public office holders in the Ministries of Education, Finance, Health and Children and Family Development as well as the Premier's office and School Districts. Public support for and detailed policy recommendations of the community-led $10aDay Child Care Plan, available at 10aday.ca, will also be shared.
