Our Plan: Childcare BC
B.C. is taking important steps to deliver quality and affordable child care to more families. Learn more about what we're doing to reduce child care fees for parents, build more licensed spaces, and increase supports for those working in the sector.
Universal Child Care

In February 2018, the Government of British Columbia and the Government of Canada signed the BC-Canada Early Learning and Child Care Agreement.
