News: Federal investments in early learning and child care are helping middle-class families

"The Multilateral Early Learning and Child Care Framework will provide approximately 40,000 new subsidized child care spaces across the country. Additional day care spaces help reduce wait times for families and extended opening hours make life easier for parents who work seasonal or non-standard hours. Newly funded spaces are also being created with consideration for families more in need, such as lower-income families, lone-parent families, families in underserved communities, families with children with varying abilities, and Indigenous families."
