What it does

The Indigenous Early Learning and Child Care Transformation Initiative is led by Employment and Social Development Canada, with Indigenous Services Canada, Crown-Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs Canada (CIRNAC) and the Public Health Agency of Canada as key federal partners. The Indigenous Early Learning and Child Care Transformation Initiative supports the Government’s implementation of the Indigenous Early Learning and Child Care Framework co-developed with Indigenous partners and jointly released in September 2018. It also complements the federal, provincial and territorial Multilateral ELCC Framework released in June 2017. The framework reflects the unique cultures and needs of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis children across Canada. The Initiative supports horizontal coordination of federal investments in Indigenous early learning and child care through flexible, Indigenous-led approaches.

ESDC also administers the Quality Improvement Projects Fund to advance foundational elements of Indigenous ELCC and promote best practices or innovative models in Indigenous ELCC programs, with a focus on culture and language; professional capacity; centers of excellence or networks; data, research, reporting, evaluation; or links to provincial/territorial service delivery.
