‘A Game transformer’ 

The federal budget specifies any current project must meet three bases: 

• Funds should go essentially to non-profit early studying centres. 
• Funds should pay for the training of early boyhood educators. 
• The money should be spent to bisect average child care fees by the end of 2022 and lower child-care prices to an average of $10 per day by 2026. 

While she was not enlightened of details of the deal ahead of Monday’s news conference, Nicki Dublenko, chair of the Association of Early Childhood Educators of Alberta, said $10-a-day child care would be transformational. 

“That in itself is a game-changer as there are people, typically women, that want to work, but they just can’t manage it, especially with various children. All of their pay is going towards child care,” Dublenko said.  Source – cbc.ca
