National Statement on Quality Early Learning and Child Care
With the expertise of Gillian Doherty as author and with the support of a review committee some of whom participated in the development of the original statement, CCCF has developed an updated version (published June 2007) of the National Statement. It describes a vision of quality child care that applies in all service delivery models.

The Canadian Child Care Federation and the Association of Canadian Community Colleges have developed occupational standards intended for child care practitioners who are responsible for a group of children. They address the care of children and promotion of their development, relationships caregivers form with parents, relationships among caregivers and others in the child care setting and other community services involved with the child, and professional development. The focus is on the skills and abilities, core knowledge and standards of ethical practice required to do the job in a competent fashion.

Code of Ethics for Child Care Practitioners
CCCF has developed a set of principles, explanations and standards of practice designed to help child care practitioners monitor their professional practice and guide their decision-making. Based on the Code of Ethics of the Early Childhood Educators of BC, these ethical principles have been adapted for use by adults who work with children and families in a variety of child care and related settings. They are intended both to guide practitioners and to protect the children and families with whom they work.
