Early Learning for Every Child Today: A Framework for Ontario’s Early Childhood Settings describes how young children learn and develop and provides a guide for curriculum in Ontario’s early childhood settings, including child care centres, regulated home child care, nursery schools, kindergarten, Ontario Early Years Centres, family resource programs, parenting centres, readiness centres, family literacy, child development programs in CAPC, Healthy Babies Healthy Children and early intervention services. It is intended to complement, not replace, the new Childcare & Early Years Act, the Ontario Day Nurseries Act, Ontario Early Years Centre guidelines and the Kindergarten Program.
To support our ambitious goals, the Child Care and Early Years Act, 2014 (CCEYA) will come into effect on August 31, 2015. This legislation will replace the outdated Day Nurseries Act (DNA) and establish new rules governing child care in Ontario. Many of the new provisions will strengthen compliance and health and safety in child care settings, and help parents make informed choices about their options. Many of the provisions that existed under the regulations under the Day Nurseries Act are unchanged and will be carried forward under the CCEYA.
