Early Childhood Education and Care in Canada 2024/2025

Early Childhood Education and Care in Canada 2024/2025 is the latest edition in a long-standing national series documenting the state of child care across the country. Developed by the Childcare Resource and Research Unit, the report provides detailed, comparable data on child care spaces, enrolment, workforce, funding, and policy developments across all provinces and territories.

Covering the period from 2022 to 2025, it tracks significant changes as Canada implements the Canada-wide early learning and child care system, including progress on affordability, expansion, and workforce development. The report offers an important evidence base for understanding how systems are evolving across jurisdictions and where further policy action and investment are needed.

This report supports advocates, policymakers, and sector leaders in strengthening early learning and child care systems in Saskatchewan and across Canada.
