Beginning in fall 2024, the initiative will provide funding to family child care services to trial up to 13 hours of extended daytime child care or up to 13 hours of overnight child care.
Families across Canada know that affordable child care is not a luxury—it is a necessity. The federal government is working with provincial, territorial, and Indigenous partners to implement a Canada-wide Early Learning and Child Care (ELCC) system that will bring fees for regulated child care across the country down to $10-a-day on average by March 2026. ACOA and Rural Economic Development Minister Gudie Hutchings shared the podium on Friday with NL Education Minister Krista Lynn Howell. Over the course of the three-year plan, Newfoundland and Labrador’s Early Learning and Child Care Action Plan 2023–2024 to 2025–2026 outlines spending of more than $280 million in five areas ; Affordability, Access, Quality, Inclusion and Administration. The ministers also announced the province’s new Non-Standard Hours of Care trial to support more inclusive child care for the province. Beginning in fall 2024, the initiative will provide funding to family child care services to trial up to 13 hours of extended daytime child care or up to 13 hours of overnight child care.
