Nordic leaders gathered in Copenhagen on June 23 to discuss how to create a good life for children through quality early childhood education. The Nordic approach of a good life, presents a different starting point to policy and program development. Kerry McCuaig with the Atkinson Centre attended the conference to share some Canadian innovations in ECE delivery and monitoring with participants.

The Atkinson Centre supports the general directions of the proposed legislation. It encourages swift action to curtail illegal child care provision. The role of the local system services manager is appropriately heightened but would benefit from additional tools. Expanding the mandate of school boards to secure programming for children to age 12 is essential. Attention must be paid the children with special needs. Changes to ratios in licensed family and group care should be put on hold and addressed as part of a full regulatory review.
