Cities in Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Newfoundland and Labrador are leading the country on offering $10-a-day childcare services, but the availability of spaces remains an obstacle, says a new report.Median child care fees for toddlers in Calgary are the second highest in the country at $838 a month, behind Richmond B.C. at $905 a month, and ahead of Toronto at $725.
The goal was to cut the cost of child care in half in the first year and then bring daily fees down to $10 a day per child by 2026. The plan also calls for creating 250,000 new child-care spots by 2026. The report found that in Newfoundland and Labrador, fees fell to $10 for all three categories of children by the end of 2022, well before the 2026 target date. Saskatchewan also hit the benchmark in 2022, while Manitoba hit it earlier this year.
Median child-care fees for toddlers in Calgary dropped from $1,100 during the survey period to $838 a month. That was still the second-highest level recorded in any city in Canada, after Richmond B.C. and ahead of Toronto .
