[@MelHart396]

I run a dayhome in Alberta. I have yet to hear of anyone getting childcare for $30/month. There is a government grant that all parents are eligible for. The secondary subsidy is based on income. I have a question…. If $10/day childcare is implemented, who pays the difference in the fee for childcare? For instance - full time childcare that would cost $1000/ month before subsidy, who will cover the cost of the remaining $990/month/child?? Childcare educators have a high demand from the government to work harder, put on more hours for planning, cleaning, meal prep and standards for the facility as well as conferences, courses and many of them come with no funding. Childcare educators are going to have a hard time keeping up with the demand of costs going into childcare costs and facility upkeep with no extra money coming in. This is already making daycares and dayhomes shutting down because they can’t keep up. Pretty soon there will be very limited space in childcare facilities and waiting lists lengthened. It’s going to cause a big upset.
