Welcome to the Quality by Design project web site.

The Quality by Design Project is intended to promote and inform discussion, debate and knowledge about quality in early learning and child care (ELCC). It is intended to contribute to quality as Canada’s new national ELCC program – framed by the “QUAD” principles of Quality, Universality, Accessibility and Developmental [ness] - develops.

Notice of additions and updates to this web site will be disseminated on the Childcare Resource and Research Unit’s weekly e-broadcast, a sign-up for which is found on the CRRU website.
