Children deserve supportive child care. Families need affordable child care. Child care workers deserve fair pay and working conditions.
This rally is part of the 10 Days of Action in Support of $10aDay Child Care:

Families need @fordnation to step up and fully fund:
✅ Fair wages for ECEs to address recruitment.
✅ Expansion of public child care. Otherwise markets that aren’t “profitable” will keep being left behind.
That’s how we end waitlist stress & child care deserts.

Parents like Alex in Parry Sound need action now to expand the $10/day child care program, so that there is a space for every child.
Especially in rural communities, families in ‘child care deserts’ are being left behind.

New: Ontario gov’t to charge child-care centres in gov’t buildings “full market-rate rents” in 2025, rather than nominal amounts.
It says operators “should be able to offset the cost increases with federal funding” through $10/day program
(No paywall 🔓)

While this new funding formula aims to make child care funding more streamlined, it does not improve compensation for educators and raises 🚩red flags on profit making. We need every dollar going to improve quality care for kids! #WorthMore
Ontario reduces child-care fees, introduces new operator funding formula

Ontario child care centres are struggling, as we continue to wait for a new provincial funding formula and wage grid from @Sflecce. /1

Now we know WHEN a new child care funding formula will be implemented, but we still don't know WHAT it will be. @ChildCareON & @AECEO asked @gordcleveland to write a brief about what it SHOULD be 👇

Ontario has told child care centres that it will implement a new way of funding the national $10-a-day program starting in 2025. toronto.citynews.ca/2024/05/…

Devastating. Noone should be put through this.
Josue bravely shared his story. Now we need to step up to support him & all undocumented people. They need access to healthcare now.

Great example of how to expand non-profit publicly funded child care so that more can benefit from lower parent fees. 82 new spaces: 32 for infants. Wow. Well done @JennaSudds @BeckyDruhan
Congratulations to the child care centre at Mount Saint Vincent University’s (@MSVU_Halifax) for expanding their spaces!
A great example of using existing public infrastructure to exand child care, and in the heart of HRM where so many of the province’s children live! #nspoli

Private equity involvement in child care is not only a U.S. problem. I'm looking forward to joining @ArmineYalnizyan and @ASimonUCL on 5/17 to build an international understanding of the issue and potential action steps. REGISTER AT THIS LINK: sfu.zoom.us/meeting/register…

NEW: Child care work is one of the most underpaid and undervalued forms of labour in our society.
Why is the labour force that performs the complex, demanding and indispensable work of caring for our children persistently undercut? @ChildCareON @AECEO canadiandimension.com/articl…
