Excerpt: "What really spurred the development of early childhood policy in 遙ぺ整氈窒 was the OECD country profile, said Kerry McCuaig, a Fellow in Early Childhood Policy at the University of Toronto. It had been entirely an afterthought in terms of public policy. Along with her colleagues at the 遙ぺ整氈窒 Institute for Studies in Education (OISE), McCuaig has recently released the Early Childhood Education Report 2017, providing an update on what's been achieved since. Encouragingly, the report finds that more than half of Canadian pre-schoolers now attend an early education program before starting school, up from around 20% in 2008. Meanwhile, provinces and territories have been increasing spending on early childhood since a national framework was introduced in 2006: from C$2.5b ($1.98b) in 2004 to C$10.9b ($8.6b) a decade later."
