Improving fair access to child care

With the Canada-wide child care plan, or $10-a-day child care as many know it, the child care sector is growing and changing.

As we work to create new spaces for everyone in the community, the Region is also making room for families who face barriers. 

Phase 1 of the Region’s Child Care Access and Inclusion plan includes a pilot that works to give everyone a fair and equitable chance to access quality child care.

Watch this video to learn more about the Child Care Subsidy Access Pilot and the impact – from one parent’s experience.

If you would like an opportunity to chat with Children’s Services about the plan, visit Planning, Access and Inclusion – Region of Waterloo. You can also fill out a survey that will remain open until the end of the year.
