Ontario's child care community, parents and educators are united about three critical priorities to build a better early years and child care system: low fees or no fees for families; decent work and pay for educators; and expanding public and non-profit child care.

In 2017, the Ontario government promised that their commitment of 100,000 new child care spaces will usher in a "transformative", "groundbreaking" and "visionary" new approach to early learning and child care. We need to hold the new government to this promise. Our community cannot settle for the status quo or accept cuts to child care.

We need the Ontario government to ensure that our three big ideas - low fees or no fees for all families, decent work and pay for educators, and expansion only in public and non-profit child care - form the foundation of a new early years and child care system. With the new Progressive Conservative provincial government, it's more important than ever that our elected officials hear that our community has the solutions to the child care crisis.
