The proportion of children under 6 who have access to a regulated, full- or part-time centre-based child care space varied by province and territory in 2014.

In Prince Edward Island, almost one-third of children under 6 had access to such a space.

That was the case for 13% of children in Saskatchewan and 19% in Newfoundland & Labrador.
