Description: Child care in Canada.
In Canada, child care takes different forms, including unregulated and regulated family care and regulated services such as school-age and part-day programs and full-day centers.
Statistics show that unregulated care outside and in the family home accounts for 15 and 6 percent, respectively. Regulated care makes for 12 percent while parental care takes the largest share - 60 percent.
This type of child care is available in all Canadian territories and provinces, and caregivers look after preschool aged kids, toddlers, and infants. The main benefits include small sized groups and the option to place siblings in the same group. The homes of caregivers are subject to regular inspections and parents may be eligible to receive fee subsidies.
