This paper explore the thought that rather than creating new systems and programs, we should invest funds in existing childcare resource centers to stabilize a national family support system and to allow communities themselves to determine and develop solutions to gaps in service. By providing funds on an on-going, consistent basis to support the national, provincial/ territorial and local infrastructure necessary to develop and stabilize the system required to maintain the childcare support resources already in place. Provide the funds necessary to develop and promote "best practices" and a common language for those supporting families across Canada.
