White text on a black background that reads Childcare specific commitments: reduce *daycare costs to $10/day by working collaboratively with the federal government, daycare operators, early childhood educators (ECEs), and other key stakeholders. Adopt best practices from other provinces with respect to the funding formula, giving daycare operators stability while keeping kids safe and helping parents save money. Create more non-profit and publicly owned childcare spaces, so that we can ensure enough spaces are available for every family in need. *Daycare is a term often used synonymously with childcare and is used interchangeably in the communication we received.
