The Centre for Excellence in Child Care, founded in 1995, has a new name - Family Day Innovation Centre. The goal remains the same - "to improve the quality of child care through funding and support for research projects and professional consultation with other organizations". Operating under the direction of the Board of Directors, the Family Day Innovation Centre is a 'virtual entity', supporting projects that can be described as discovery-based, knowledge-building, collaborative, rigorous and credible - activities that enhance creative program design, both theoretical and practical.
