This paper, presented in both English and French, reviews the major findings of the 1978 National Day Care Study in Canada. Among the findings: (1) the number of spaces in day care increased slightly (from 81,651 in 1977 to 82,279 in 1978); this increase is attributable to the expansion of family day care: while spaces in day care centers decreased from 1977 to 1978 by 160l, family day care spaces increased by 2229 over 1977; (2) more than three-quarters of the children enrolled in day care centers are between the ages of 2 and 6; (3) an estimated 5.73% of children under age 2 of working mothers and 12.65% of children between age 2 and 6 of working mothers are enrolled in day care, but only .39% of children age 6 and over (but under 15 years of age) of working mothers are enrolled in day care; (4) about half of all the day care spaces in Canada are being subsidized, and about 95% of all the children in non-profit centers are subsidized. Field observations suggest that the status of day care in 1979 will remain substantially unchanged over 1978. (MP)
