Early experiences shapes children’s developmental trajectories, and despite pressures to adapt to AI in education, there is a need for caution and safeguarding children’s privacy.

It makes good economic sense to lean on the neighbourhood public school in the push to expand early learning.
Access to schooling for four-year-olds is inconsistent across Canada. Families need to know children are immersed in high-quality early learning, and they shouldn’t be exhausted searching for it.
Particularly after the devastation of COVID-19, evidence is mounting for the economic argument of reinvesting in high-quality early childhood education.
A comparative study examining more than 50 years of data in Canada, the U.S. and U.K. finds quality early child education lessens the need for later special education.
