Access For All Families

Licensed child care for more kids:
As part of Budget 2018, we’re investing $237 million to improve access, including delivering more than 22,000 new licensed spaces throughout the province, laying a strong foundation for universal child care in B.C., giving parents access when and where they need it.

Improving access for all children:
In order to better support Indigenous children and children with diverse needs we are providing additional funding to reduce waitlists for Supported Child Development and Aboriginal Supported Development programs. We are also expanding Head Start programs both on and off reserve.
