Toward a Provincial framework for early learning and care in Alberta putting the pieces together : the integrative elements of a new early learning and care framework
The absence of a national policy framework for early learning and care (ELC) in Canada has been widely noted. Less frequently remarked upon, however, is the parallel absence of comprehensive approaches or frameworks at the provincial/ territorial level - the level of government with primary responsibility for ELC in Canada. In its review of early childhood education and care (ECEC) in Canada, the OECD recommended development of 'provincial plans for early childhood services development' including clear goals for services, annual targets, specific funding and outcome measures. The OECD also encouraged the provinces to consider decentralizing management of services to the local level through publicly mandated community or municipal agencies that would have combined responsibility for both kindergarten and child care.
