On March 28, 2022, the Province of Ontario announced the new Canada-Wide Early Learning and Child Care (CWELCC) provincial/federal agreement for Licensed Child Care Programs to provide an average of $10 per day child care fee by 2025-2026.
The Canada-Wide Early Learning and Child Care (CWELCC) system will:
- give families access to more affordable and high-quality child care options
- help lower child care fees for parents of children under the age of six
- increase child care spaces
- support the child care workforce
- support inclusive child care
Licensed child care providers can participate in the CWELCC system to help reduce fees. Licensed child care providers must inform parents about their decision to participate in the CWELCC system. If your licensed child care provider decides not to participate, your fees will not be reduced.
