United for Accessible, Quality & Sustainable Childcare: A National Conference for Advocacy
Be part of a nationwide dialogue that delves into the intricacies of the Federal Canada-Wide Early Learning and Childcare Program. This conference provides a platform for childcare operators from every corner of the country to come together, offering a space to exchange real-life experiences and insights since the inception of the program. Engage in meaningful conversations about the successes and the hurdles encountered since its implementation.
The importance of affordable childcare resonates across Canada, and our collective aim is to guarantee that the National Program isn't merely a reduction in fees, but a cornerstone for delivering sustainable, high-quality care that is accessible to children of Canada.
Your on the ground expertise and stories are key to ensuring that our national childcare strategy is shaped by those who know it best: the dedicated individuals operating on the front lines. Join us as we unite in this crucial conference to steer the program towards excellence.
Your voice matters—let it be heard at this national conference for advocacy.
This meeting will be held over ZOOM with a link being sent to all registrants within 24hr before the event. This is open to all operators across Canada.
High quality child care across Alberta is currently in jeopardy. Proposed government policy is threatening the financial viability of child care across the country. We need your help to ensure we can continue to offer our services to our communities.
