Excerpt: "Families with young children in Winnipeg will benefit from a new child-care facility opening its doors this fall, Families, Children and Social Development Minister Jenna Sudds and Premier Wab Kinew announced today. “With these new child-care spots in Winnipeg, we are planting the seeds for a brighter future – one where kids get to learn from the land and their community,” said Sudds. “We will keep working hard to create more spots to get kids off wait lists and into high-quality, affordable child care close to home. Every family deserves access to child care that gives their children the best possible start in life and we are committed to making that a reality.” S.P.L.A.S.H. Child Care Inc. in Winnipeg has expanded its operations to facilitate 40 new child-care spaces. These new child-care spaces have been created through S.P.L.A.S.H.’s new Urban Learning Centre, which joins S.P.L.A.S.H.’s Early Learning Centre at 109 Pulford St. as well as S.P.L.A.S.H.’s two other facilities in Winnipeg for a total of 236 infant, preschool and school-age spaces. The new site will offer 10 preschool and 30 school-age spaces."

Excerpt: "In education, our government continues to invest in the repair and construction of new schools.

That means more Ontario students have begun the school year in modern, state-of-the-art classrooms."

Excerpt: "Rural operators in particular pointed out the increased costs in small Yukon communities, lower incomes within rural families and the necessity for foundational supports in early learning and child care programs such as meal programs, and at times, provisions like diapers and suitable clothing for children. In the early childhood educators’ sessions, there was a call for increased wages and benefits such as sick leave. For some, it was about access to funding to upgrade their education and the possibility of expanded bursary programs to support post-secondary early learning and child care education"
