This bibliography annotates research reports, key informed opinion, and survey articles from Canada, the United States, and other countries which are relevant to child care policy in Canada. Rather than a comprehensive list of materials, the bibliography is intended to provide information about the most recent and/or key materials on the topic. The annotations from research studies only identify findings that were statistically significant, and different findings from the same study may be described in different sections, as appropriate.

The following topics are covered: (1) family policy and child care in Canada; (2) family policy and child care in the provinces and territories; (3) child care and the broader social context; (4) the economics of child care; (5) family policy and child care in other countries; (6) the effects of child care; (7) parental child care needs and preferences; (8) quality; (9) health and safety; (10) the physical environment; (11) the adult work environment; (12) human resources; (13) contextual factors; (14) child care support services; (15) family day care; (16) school-age child care; (17) rural child care; (18) work-related child care; (19) aboriginal child care; (20) multicultural child care; and (21) child care for children with disabilities.
