We are leaders in the early learning and child care sector in Canada.

The reach of our affiliates is wide and diverse. They are a committed, passionate force for positive change where it matters most — with children.

Together, our affiliate organizations in each province and territory represent early learning and child care organizations from across Canada. They provide leadership for CCCF. Each affiliate shares feedback and information via their member council representative. They give voice to the deep passion, experience and practice of early learning and child care in Canada.

Practitioners and CCCF members from coast to coast to coast belong in our scope. We mobilize excellent research in policy and practice to better inform service development and delivery. We provide leadership on issues that impact our sector because we know we are making a difference in the lives of young children—our true purpose, why we exist—to make a difference in these lives.
