Early Childhood Development
The Importance of Child Care in Early Childhood Development
Progress on the 1997 Manitoba Birth
Cohort Study
(Tots Study - Etude Parlons Petite Enfance)
Healthy Child Manitoba and Social Development Canada are
working in partnership with South Eastman Health/Santé
Sud-Est and DSFM (Division scolaire franco-manitobaine) to
find out more about child care through a research study called
the 1997 Manitoba Birth Cohort Study. The study is
following children from preschool to school entry and beyond,
measuring how child care affects their behaviour and development
in the areas of social skills, problem solving, motor skills
and school readiness. Over time, this knowledge will help
us understand how early child care and other experiences influence
children’s development.
