Abstract	Noting that the number of work-related child care centers has nearly doubled in the past 10 years in Canada, this report, in both English and French, details a study examining the current practices pertaining to work-related child care in Canada. The report highlights the best examples in this area and discusses what has been learned from the experiences. The study gathered information through a series of interviews with the directors of 51 work-related child care center directors from all regions in Canada, representing about 1 in 7 work-related Canadian centers. The study's findings revealed that the relationship between a child care center and the workplace can take a variety of forms, depending on the needs, resources, and priorities of each partner. Examples illustrate a range from full integration of the center into the company's structure to the leasing of space. Some examples demonstrate the importance of conducting a market study before developing a work-related center to determine whether workers truly need child care services, whether these needs warrant commitment from the employer or union, and whether a work-related child care center is the best way of meeting these needs. The report notes that a good market study can contribute to developing a service that meets workers' specific needs with respect to fees, business hours, registration options, and services. The report includes detailed profiles of 14 of the 51 participating work-related child care centers. Research needs are identified related to child care approaches, unions and government role, and case studies on less successful programs. A list of participating centers and a copy of the questionnaire completes the report. (Contains 10 references.) (KB)
