Notes :
Percents may not add up to 100 because responses of 'don't know', 'refusal' and 'not stated' were included in the calculation of all estimates and rounding.
Children were identified as 'North American Indian'; however in the ACS analytical article the term "First Nations children" is used throughout the report.
Excludes children who are currently attending school.
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.
