Children and families in Canada have a right to access
quality, affordable child care services. Yet only 20% of young children today
have access to a regulated space and, in many regions, child care fees are the
second highest expense for young families. Early childhood educators (ECEs)
also have a right to be socially valued and properly paid for their work, yet
ECE professionals earn about half as much, on average, as other college-trained
workers. From grandparents to economists, working parents to student parents,
health care professionals to social workers, early childhood educators to
university professors - and so many others - everyone has a child care story. Now is the time to add your voice to the chorus
of people across Canada who say "We Need Child Care".
