The Department of Education is currently undertaking the development of a Newfoundland and Labrador Early Learning Action Plan, which will also include a legislative review of the Child Care Act and regulations. The Department via the Child Care Act sections 33.1 and 33.2 is mandated to review the Act and its regulations every five years in order to assess areas that may be improved.
As the purpose of the engagement is multilayered, the Department is seeking input from individuals and organizations involved in the child care sector on topics related to the creation of a Newfoundland and Labrador Early Learning Action Plan including the review of child care legislation (Act and regulations) and its early learning programs.
