This brings the total number of $10 a Day child care spaces in B.C. to over 15,000. With these newly converted spaces, offered at 27 additional child care centres throughout the province, B.C. is on track to achieving the goal of 20,000 spaces by spring 2026. Additionally, through B.C.\u2019s child care affordability programs, the ministry has brought the average daily cost of child care for children aged five and under down to $19 from $54. These spaces will support families and further develop access to high-quality, affordable child care. Since 2018, the Province has invested $4.3 billion in the 10-year ChildCareBC plan to build a future where affordable, inclusive, and quality child care is a core service that families can rely on.<\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>More B.C. families will save thousands of dollars every year as over 930 child care spaces moved into the $10 a Day ChildCareBC program during March and April.
