Recent Perspectives on Early Childhood Education in Canada
Early childhood education is critical for preparing children for success in formal school settings, and as such, is a major concern throughout the world. This volume brings together ground-breaking research in this area to help practitioners, students, policy makers, curriculum designers, and intervention program developers understand the latest ideas and advances in the field. Recent Perspectives of Early Childhood Education and Care in Canada centres on three key themes. The first provides a survey of historical, social policy, economic, and provincial regulations and policies related to early childhood education and care. The second focuses on issues related to children’s learning, curriculum, and teachers. The final theme addresses recent developments in government involvement in early childhood education and care that are unique to Canada. The contributors to this volume demonstrate the pressing need that exists to further public discussion on early childhood education to help policymakers shape better decisions for Canadian families.

Presentation on Early Childhood Education
The Ontario Public School Boards' Association (OPSBA) deplores the lack of time to develop a position paper, and questions the need for hearings into early childhood education when major policy decisions in the area have already been made. It highlights the following areas of concern for school boards: philosophy of early childhood education; half-day junior and full-day senior kindergarten; coordination with other community programs, child care and the role of school boards in the provision of child care; teacher training and certification; and funding of early childhood education.
