| Abstract: | There is strong evidence and widespread agreement among experts on the critical role of early learning programs and initiatives in child development and learning. The early developmental period from birth to 6 years is foundational, marking a critical period for intervention. Early learning and child care (ELCC) can include a variety of activities that are intended to support language, emotional, intellectual and physical development in equally varied settings, such as centres, preschools, nursery schools and home child care settings. Given the limited data available on child care among Indigenous children, the Indigenous Peoples Survey (IPS) remains the only national source providing insight into their experiences. Using data from the child component of the 2022 IPS, this analysis examines factors associated with child care participation among off-reserve First Nations, Métis and Inuit children aged 1 to 5. It explores child care participation rates, satisfaction with child care, reasons for not receiving regular child care, cultural relevance, language use, preferences for alternate types of child care and barriers to preferred child care type. It also examines the sociodemographic profile of those participating in child care. |
