Child care expansion added $13.6B to Ontario’s GDP and could add more: economist thetrillium.ca:443/insider-n…

Ontario was the last province to sign onto the national program, and has been undeniably half-hearted in trying to meet the agreed targets (for new spaces and lower fees). Despite that, the economic gains have been powerful. Imagine if the Ford govt was all-in on accessible ELCC.

I partnered with the Ont Coalition for Better Child Care and the Assoc of Early Childhood Educators on a new study on the economic benefits being harvested by Ont from the new $10-a-day national child care program: childcareontario.org/stanfor…. More jobs, more GDP, more govt rev. /2

Good illustration of why #cdchildcare shouldn't be a private business bit.ly/4sAOsn6. Closing down hundreds of now-publicly funded spaces parents rely on should be a public, not private owner's, decision @YMCAofNL

Congratulations to our friends and allies at the Ontario Coalition for Better Child Care, the Association of Early Childhood Educators Ontario, and CUPE!
Their Child Care Workers are Worth More! campaign has won the 2025 Good Fight Prize from the Atkinson Foundation - recognizing fearless campaigns for decent work.
By organizing across unions, families, and communities, they helped lift the wage floor for early childhood educators and child care workers and continue to fight for a fair wage grid, benefits, and pensions.
Proud to join in solidarity with you in the fight for decent work for all!

Ontario promised $10-a-day child care by Mar. 2026. Today’s average? $19. A federal extension buys time, but will the province deliver? @ChildCareON’s Carolyn Ferns talks with @JeyanTVO. youtube.com/watch?v=VdNVpz7_…

October 21, 2025 is the 25th annual Child Care Worker and Early Childhood Educator Appreciation Day.
This year’s theme is Care Counts, it centres the importance of care in early learning and child care and the pride that ECEs and child care workers feel in their work. There is no education without care.
We appreciate our #OSSTF Early Childhood Educator (ECE) members for all the hard work, commitment, and skills they bring each day to our young students in our schools. For ways to celebrate this day, please check out bit.ly/47ijMyk @ChildCareON
