10 Reasons to Choose Quality Early Learning and Child Care

Expert knowledge Early childhood educators are experts in child development and are trained to create inspiring learning environments!
Intentionality Early childhood educators provide your child the gift of time and attention. They will stop and explore the new flowers or jump in the mud puddles with your child.
Young at heart Early childhood educators know how to have fun! They’re not afraid to be silly and laugh with your child; all while nurturing your child’s creativity and helping to build their self-confidence.

Love of literacy Early childhood educators read and tell stories, sing songs, and do puppet shows to inspire a love of language and to build early literacy skills.

Proposed Budget 2017 investments to boost funding for early learning and child care

March 29th, 2017


via Government of Prince Edward Island

For too many families, the lack of affordable, high-quality child care means making a difficult choice. Some parents have to sacrifice retirement savings to pay for child care, while others may leave their career because child care is unavailable or unaffordable.

Recognizing the deep connection between child care and the economic security of families, the Honourable Lawrence MacAulay, Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food, was in Charlottetown on behalf of the Honourable Jean Yves Duclos, Minister of Families, Children and Social Development, today to highlight Budget 2017 investments in early learning and child care that will help Canadian children get the best start in life and support Canadian families who need it most.

To this end, Budget 2017 proposes to invest $7 billion over 10 years, starting in 2018–19, to support and create more high-quality, flexible, fully inclusive and affordable child care spaces across the country. A portion of this investment will be dedicated to improving access to culturally appropriate early learning and child care programs for Indigenous children living on and off reserve. Over the next three years, these investments could:

• increase the number of affordable child care spaces for low- and modest-income families by supporting up to 40,000 new subsidized child care spaces; and

• make it more affordable for parents to return to work, with thousands of parents more likely to enter the labour force once child care is made more affordable.

Of this investment, $95 million will also go towards closing data gaps to better understand what child care looks like in Canada and track progress and $100 million for Early Learning and Child Care Innovation. These investments are in addition to the initial investment of $500 million in Budget 2016 for early learning and child care, including $100 million for Indigenous early learning and child care.

In the coming months, the Government will work in close collaboration with provinces and territories to finalize a federal, provincial and territorial Multilateral Framework on Early Learning and Child Care. The Framework will focus on best practices and new and innovative approaches to better serve families and help to improve outcomes for children. We will also work with provinces and territories, as well as other key experts, to improve data collection to expand our knowledge and research in early learning and child care. This will ensure better policy and evidence-based decision-making in the future.

Working with Indigenous partners, the Government will also co-develop a distinct Indigenous Framework on Early Learning and Child Care that will reflect the unique cultures and needs of First Nations, Inuit and Métis children and families across Canada.

Quotes

“Too many Canadian families are struggling to have access to affordable, high-quality and fully inclusive child care. That is why families are at the centre of our government’s Budget 2017 child care investments. We are providing this money to provinces and territories to help them deliver child care services that will improve the lives of Canadian children and families.”
– The Honourable Jean-Yves Duclos, Minister of Families, Children and Social Development


“Budget 2017 is the next step in the Government’s long-term plan to create jobs and strengthen the middle class and those working hard to join it. Through our budget, we are increasing support for early learning and child care, so that more Canadian parents can pursue new opportunities to learn and to work. With stronger skills and more work experience under their belts, families can focus on what matters most—building a better future for themselves and for their children.”
– The Honourable Lawrence MacAulay, Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food


"We welcome this new investment by the federal government in Island children and families. The new funding will support working families and positively impact our children's development and future well-being." 
– Honourable Doug Currie, Minister of Education, Early Learning and Culture, Prince Edward Island
