Manitoba is investing over $22 million to improve and create child care spaces, and give families for child care options.
The province is funding $8.5 million towards creating child care services for children, meeting the needs of under-served families, and supporting the long-term sustainability of child care providers.
Families Minister Heather Stefanson says “we are investing millions of dollars to ensure that parents have access to child care when they need it the most – so they know their children are safely cared for as they return to work and adjust to the realities of the COVID-19 pandemic.”
In addition, the province is committing $4.7 million in new funding to expand the tax credits for employer-based child care centres.
