The purpose of this report is to document the 12-month post-program impact of the Readiness to Learn in Minority Francophone Communities project (abridged titled: Readiness to Learn project; formerly the Child Care Pilot Project, CCPP), a demonstration project funded by Human Resources and Skills Development Canada (HRSDC). The services of the Social Research and Demonstration Corporation (SRDC) were retained to implement, manage, collect and analyze project data. The project is testing a preschool program that combines a child care program specifically developed to meet the needs of Francophone children in minority communities with a family literacy component targeting the parents of these children. The goal of this program is to develop the child's language skills, knowledge and use of the French language, knowledge and identification with the French culture, and to foster school readiness and overall development. The program is evaluated using a quasi-experimental approach with non-equivalent control groups. The methodology involves three experimental groups: a Program Daycare group consisting of children enrolled in a Francophone daycare centre offering the new preschool program; a comparison group consisting of children enrolled at a Francophone daycare centre that does not offer the new preschool program; and a comparison group of children who are cared for at home or in an informal family daycare setting. The objective of the formal daycare control group is to determine the influence of a formal daycare centre on a child's development, which is a treatment in itself. The objective of the comparison group not enrolled in a formal daycare centre is to determine the influence of an informal daycare on the child's development. The project has two participant cohorts; the first cohort was enrolled in 2007 and the second was enrolled in 2008. (author abstract)
