Document Summary

Ece programs can be operated by non-profit organizations, commercial or independent operators, or public organizations (municipalities, school boards etc. ) Auspice legal status and ownership of programs; controversial in canada. Child care is a public good and privately operated centres should not profit from caring for children and that early childhood programs should be a fully funded public service. Supporters of commercial child care often argue that caring for children is the responsibility of individual families; governments should not determine where parents choose to send their young children. Volunteers are more likely to work in various roles in a non-profit program. 25% of canada"s ec programs are commercial businesses. Each province & territory has legislation that governs for-profit and non-profit corporations. Non-profit corporation is a legal entity; protects individuals from certain liabilities. Decision making tends to be more complex in non-profit organizations where there are more players and procedures. Much easier and less expensive to set up for a for-profit organization.
