An Economic Perspective on the Current and Future Role of Nonprofit Provision of Early Learning and Child Care Services in Canada is the final report of a 3-year project studying nonprofit and for-profit child care centres in Canada, by Gordon Cleveland, Barry Forer, Douglas Hyatt, Christa Japel and Michael Krashinsky. The focus has been to establish whether and under what conditions nonprofit operation of centres will lead to higher quality services. The authors use four different data sets to answer the question. The report includes a comprehensive survey of relevant literature and information about nonprofit and for-profit child care in other countries.
