Hundreds of thousands of Canadian families can’t find child care when they need it. That’s why on Nov. 30, advocates are holding a National Day of Action on Child Care & Early Learning. 📝 Help us end Canada’s shortage of licensed child care spaces: bit.ly/3un0nMR
The report shows that while the Alberta Government has promised 65,000 new child care spaces,
There are simply not enough Early Childhood Educators (ECEs) in Alberta to staff these spaces. You can’t have new hospitals without more nurses, or new schools without more teachers. This is no different.
Today, PIA and @ChildcarenowAb have released a report called "Where is the Child Care?" as a part of the National Day of Action on Child Care & Early Learning.
At the current rate at which ECEs are graduating in Alberta, it will take 10.7 years to properly staff these spaces.
To learn more and take action to demand universal access to high-quality and affordable child care for all: pialberta.org/MoreThanADecade
We can't afford to wait for more than a decade for accessible child care. There are concrete steps the gov't must take to address this shortage. The gov't must invest in the ECE workforce or these new spaces will never actually have children in them and only exist on paper.
The AFL team is supporting the #DotsForSpots campaign to promote access to child care & better working conditions & wages for early childhood educators. Thank you @ChildcarenowAb for championing action to meet the needs of all kids & families! #ChildCareForAll #abpoli #canpoli

ATA president Jason Schilling encourages all Albertans to #paintABpurple on September 20 for education support workers! They deserve wages and working conditions that reflect the enormous contribution they make to kids’ learning and to the public good.
@ChildcarenowAb @StandardsforECE Nutrition needs to be part of the system we are building for childcare. Children and families, need access to quality care. Part of that core care is nutrition and the education around it. Direct supply side funding and regulatory requirements can make this safe for all.
In our 2024 Federal Budget Submission, we are calling for increased federal spending on the early childhood education workforce, and for much bigger federal investments in the construction of more not-for-profit and public ELCC facilities. childcarenow.ca/2023/08/11/mor…
Note to all political parties: propose strategies to improve wages, benefits and working conditions in the child care sector. You won’t increase availability and access to programs for any age group without more, and better retention of, educators. winnipeg.citynews.ca/2023/08/20/man…
