Child care arrangements refer to the care of a child by someone other than a parent, including daycare, nursery or preschool, Head Start, before or after school programs and care by a relative or other caregiver. These refer to regular arrangements that are used consistently, rather than sporadically (e.g. babysitting). These data refer to the main child care arrangement; that is the arrangement in which the child spends the most time.
All Aboriginal children in the Yukon and Northwest Territories (on and off reserve) were included.
