This Work Matters
Affordable, quality child care changes lives. It supports families, strengthens the economy, and gives every child a strong start. Yes, the $10aDay child care plan is a game changer for families. But we can still do better!
Ontario needs a child care system with:
- More public and nonprofit spaces where they are needed most
- Decent work and pay for educators
- Full and sufficient public funding
We’re working together to build a stronger, more equitable system—and we need your voice.
