Put parents before profits: Stand up for $10-a-day child care for families and quality care for children

The Canada-Wide Early Learning and Child Care (CWELCC) system has been a game changer for hundreds of thousands of families, who have seen their child care fees reduced - vital financial relief when they need it most. Canada is finally building a real, publicly funded child care system. And while we still have work to do to ensure quality care for every family and decent work for ECEs, now is the time to keep building our new system.

But now some for-profit child care owners are publicly objecting to the program, more concerned with profits than with parents. 

We are asking you to stand up with ECEs, child care workers, families and children by sending a message to your MP, MPP, Premier Doug Ford, Ontario’s Minister of Education Jill Dunlop and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Federal Minister of Children, Families and Social Development Jenna Sudds. Tell decision makers that you want to keep reduced child care fees for families and you went them to work together to ensure that the early learning and child care workforce have decent work and pay and that the non-profit and public child care sectors are stable, thriving and expanding.

Please send a letter to decision makers using this link
