“We need the CCPA to remind us that our dreams of a decent, egalitarian society are reasonable — indeed that with a little work, they are practical. And I love that practicality, that protection of the dream of the possible.”
— Naomi Klein
How we care for our children says everything about the communities we create and the kind of society in which we live, and how we can collectively make them even better.
This issue of Our Schools/Our Selves takes a broad, comprehensive view of child care and early childhood education and examines it though a variety of different lenses to offer readers a number of points of entry into this nuanced and multifaceted topic. It brings together Canada’s leading researchers, writers and activists who have contributed so much to the debates about, and our knowledge of, how we can best care for and educate our youngest and most vulnerable, and how we must support families in this enormously important responsibility.
