Under the program, average annual savings for families in Newfoundland and Labrador will be $6,300 per child in daycare
Parents in Newfoundland and Labrador are now benefiting from $10-a-day child care, three years ahead of a national target to have the system in place across the country.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau made the announcement today alongside Newfoundland and Labrador Premier Andrew Furey, following up on a 2021 agreement to support an average cost of $10 a day for child care in the province.The two governments say that under the program, average annual savings for families in the province will be $6,300 per child in daycare.
The federal government says nearly half of Canada’s provinces and territories are now providing child care at an average of $10 a day, while in other jurisdictions, the fees have been cut on average by 50 per cent, with a goal of hitting the $10-a-day target by 2026. Trudeau is expected to participate in a town hall hosted by the Clarenville Chamber of Commerce later today.
