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. The Ontario Liberal Party logo is centred above the text and there is a stylized graphic of a white deciduous leaf above it.] White text on a black background that reads More childcare specific commitments: Train, attract, recruit, and retain more talented ECEs to address the critical shortage. Ensure ECEs receive a livable wage and have access to professional development opportunities that will make becoming an ECE an attractive and viable career. Offer tuition waivers to ECE students who agree to serve in small, rural, remote, northern, and underserved communities after graduation, ensuring that all regions of Ontario have access to quality childcare. The Ontario Liberal Party logo is centred above the text and there is a stylized graphic of a white deciduous leaf above it. White text on a black background that reads General statements on Childcare: We are committed to creating a sustainable and affordable childcare system that works for both parents and providers, and we appreciate your engagement on this important issue. The Ontario Liberal Party logo is centred above the text and there is a stylized graphic of a white deciduous leaf above it.
