BC NDP MLA Kang says more families in Burnaby benefiting from investments in child care
BURNABY – BC NDP MLA Anne Kang says that more families in Burnaby will benefit from $10-a-day child care spaces.
“As a mother, I know that childcare at this low cost can be life-changing,” says Anne Kang, MLA for Burnaby Centre. “These new $10 a day spaces will help parents return to work or studies, all while knowing that their child is getting high-quality care.”
In Burnaby, the following child care centre will convert spaces to the $10 a Day ChildCare BC program:
- Burnaby Association for Community Inclusion, Little Eagles Childcare – Centre for Excellence, 37 spaces
Across BC, families will soon be benefiting from 770 new $10-a-day spaces at 22 child care centres. Spaces in the $10 a Day ChildCareBC program reduce the average cost of child care for children ages 5 and under from $1,115 a month for full-time, centre-based care to $200 a month for the same service, saving families an average of approximately $915 a month per child.
Since 2018, the Province and Government of Canada have invested nearly $8 billion through ChildCareBC to build a future where access to affordable, inclusive and quality child care is a core service that families can rely on. This has resulted in more than 40,000 new child care spaces funded and more than 16,000 $10-a-day child care spaces throughout B.C.
