The Early Years Study 3 was released today during a launch event held at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education. One of the report’s authors, Kerry McCuaig, was on hand at the launch to speak to the highlights of the report and answer questions from the Early Learning and Child Care community.

One of the last works by the late Dr. J. Fraser Mustard, this important report outlines the compelling evidence supporting investment in the early years. Dr. Mustard’s relentless advocacy for the importance of early childhood education should not be forgotten. We, in the early learning and care sector, have a responsibility to the families and children we work with to continue striving for a fundamental change in early years policy. This report will provide all the arguments you need to convince policy and decision makers that the time for change is now. We urge our members to read this report and share it with their colleagues and families. http://earlyyearsstudy.ca/
