Locals believe $25-a-day child-care should be expanded in Alberta
Medicine Hat, AB – After seeing firsthand how successful the $25-a-day childcare has been, a few local residents are saying the program should be offered province wide to all daycare providers.
The Government of Alberta launched the pilot program in 2016, with 22 Early Learning and Child-Care centres offering $25-a-day care in the province to young children.
The program was then extended, adding an additional 100 centres to its list in April of 2018.
4 of those centres are right here in Medicine Hat and include: Mother Nature’s Preschool, Pitter Patter Child Development Centre, Family YMCA John Millar Child Development Centre and the YMCA Crescent Heights Child Development Centre.
