Abstract	The Canadian Child Day Care Federation's National Statement on Quality Child Care suggests separate principles of quality care for center-based and family-based child care. The principles of quality center-based care are divided into seven areas, each with a statement of general philosophy. The philosophical principles are then defined in more detail in three categories: people, practice, and place. Specific indicators of quality care are also provided. The seven areas are suitability and training of care providers, child development and the learning environment, group size and ratios, adult relationships, health and nutrition, safety, and partnerships. The statement on family-based child care begins by defining family day care, identifying various models, and discussing the relationship between licensing and quality. Next, 10 indicators of quality are identified: (1) the role of parents in day care; (2) suitability and training of care providers; (3) coordination of the home and the family day care service; (4) child development and the learning environment; (5) interactions and relationships; (6) health and nutrition; (7) safety; (8) group sizes and ratios; (9) management of a family day care home; and (10) partnerships. Finally, several issues not addressed in the statements are highlighted for future discussion, including the interrelationships of partners, the role of licensing and regulation, and the possibility for accreditation.
