Nova Scotia Department of Community Services (DCS): Early Childhood Development Services – Stakeholder Consultation to Inform the Development of Nova Scotia’s Child Care Plan
In the summer and autumn of 2005, we facilitated 20 consultation sessions across Nova Scotia with child care stakeholders (parents; community members; child care sector workers; and policy/decision makers) to systematically gather input from stakeholders to inform the development of Nova Scotia’s Child Care Plan, which was being formulated as a result of the Canada-Nova Scotia Agreement on Early Learning and Childcare. Using questions developed by DCS, we collected the responses, analyzed the information, and prepared a final report with emergent themes for DCS to consider in the development of the Nova Scotia Child Care Plan.
