France and Canada both have well-developed child care systems. In France, child care centers first developed and the role of early childhood educators was established. Now France has public and private child care options like creches, garderies, and nursery businesses that provide full or part-time care. In Canada, day cares provide meals and quality care for children who may spend up to 8 hours there each day, with early childhood educators serving both children and parents. Both countries aim to support working parents through child care services.
