Early childhood programs and the education system
J Beach, J Bertrand
Policy makers, advocates and experts agree that the current delivery of
early childhood development programs is fragmented. Many point to
the education system as a better alternative for a more coherent
approach that has the necessary infrastructure in place in communities,
and is well placed to meet the needs of all young children and
their families. In other jurisdictions, early childhood development
programs have moved into education. In Canada, provincial and local
school authorities are taking on more early childhood programs.
