Too many parents and guardians can’t find affordable child care for their children.

Canada loses when families can’t access the quality child care they want to support their children’s development and well-being. A lack of access to affordable child care causes economic hardship and keeps mothers out of the paid labour force, adding to economic inequality and insecurity.

But there is a solution. It’s time for all federal parties to pledge support for the Affordable Child Care for All Plan. Families can have access to affordable, high-quality child care that includes all children.

Tell Canada’s federal party leaders to support a child care system that families across Canada can afford. Send your message now!

Canada needs a publicly funded and managed early learning and child care (ELCC) system that is affordable, high quality, accessible and inclusive. We need affordable child care for all. The evidence is clear: investments in child care are the surest way to grow the economy, promote gender equality, increase women’s labour force participation and enhance children’s well-being. It is time for your party to support the Affordable Child Care for All Plan: - Allocate $1 billion for child care transfers to the provinces and territories in the first federal budget after the 2019 federal election, adding an additional $1 billion each year to make affordable child care a reality for all by 2030; - Attach conditions to these federal transfers to ensure that the funds are used to expand not-for-profit licensed child care, make it affordable for all families, and improve its quality; - Pass federal legislation to ensure quality child care becomes and remains accessible to all families in Canada; - Work with the provinces and territories, Indigenous communities, and the child care sector, to put in place a workforce strategy to improve the wages and working conditions of the child care workforce, and to address the crisis in recruitment and retention of qualified early childhood educators.
