Parents can’t go to work if they can’t find child care. Child care IS infrastructure.
Let's PASS universal child care.

@Dave_Eby @bcndp-
Good progress!
Now accelerate @10aDayPlan expansion!
BC families need more affordable childcare spaces, backed by full public funding. Support children, families & women in the workforce. Expand faster. Deliver NOW! @CCCA_BC

Important to know that organizations had to choose to apply to become $10aDay sites. So only those who applied and then were subsequently approved by the Ministry, according to their criteria, are $10aDay now.
the person to ask is @sharongregson who knows more about child care than anyone in the province...and you're right, it would be interesting to see a distribution map...

As the director of a licensed early learning centre, I can tell you children aren’t just being supervised. By age 5, a child’s brain reaches about 90% of its adult size. Language, problem-solving, & self-regulation are built in these years, and certified ECEs guide that learning

What’s newsworthy here is not that Premier Eby has access to $10aDay child care - but rather that not every family does. 10aday.ca/statement_on_david…

You don’t pay the full cost of K-12 education or cancer treatment or a heart operation if you need one - child care should also be an essential public service.

As a proud BC grandfather/nonno, I believe that @10aDaychildcare should be available for EVERY child! Universal childcare benefits children, families, and our economy. @Dave_Eby and @bcndp
candidates—time for action now!

Completely agree on the inequity. Our not-for-profit has been trying to join the program for years without success. I disagree on point two, though. It benefits families of every income. The real problem is too few affordable, quality spaces, especially outside the big cities
$10aDay child care is affordable to implement because it generates significant revenues for government when more parents (women) are able to enter the workforce and pay taxes. centreforfuturework.ca/2025/…

The point is all families should be able to access $10aDay child care the same way all families can access Kindergarten if they choose to. What makes this so upsetting is that the government paused expansion on $10aDay this year instead of working to ensure it becomes universal.
I earn too much to expect $10 a day daycare.
I'm no altruist but I would honestly feel too guilty to take advantage of it and maybe take the spot a single mom or dad needs desperately. . Eby and his wife could formally employ a nanny (people who pay them under the table are despicable imo) and take a tax deduction for part of it, thus saving the space for someone who really needs it.

The solution is not to ration the few existing spaces - the solution is to expand $10aDay to all programs with a funding formula to ensure all children have quality care and all educators are qualified and fairly compensated #10adaychildcare

WATCH: 10% of BC families have access to $10 a day child care. David Eby is among them. Earlier this year, his government 'paused' expansion of the program. A program his predecessor promised to make universal.

Just now, David Eby confirms that he has his kids in $10/day taxpayer-subsidized daycare.
Approx. only 10% of BC daycare spots offer $10/day daycare. Most families who want in can't get a spot.
As Premier, Eby earns $227k/year. Eby's wife is a doctor. Their household income is likely well over half a million dollars per year.
We don't resent British Columbians who are successful (we want more people to succeed).
But where there are wait lists, surely a wealthy family like Eby's shouldn't be taking advantage of $10/day daycare. Think about a working single mother? David Eby deserves the spot more than her?
