Excerpt: "Starting in the 2021 tax-year, the credit would also be available for eligible families through regular advance payments during the year, helping parents better manage child care expenses as they are incurred.

The CARE tax credit will be on top of the existing Child Care Expense Deduction (CCED) and focus support to low- and moderate-income families. The CARE tax credit will provide about $1,250 per family, on average, in new child care support to about 300,000 families. The maximum amount available will be higher for families with a child dealing with a severe disability, with no age restrictions."

Excerpt: "Ontario is committed to providing families with more choice and convenience when it comes to accessing child care that works for them. That's why over the over the next five years the government is pledging up to $1 billion to create up to 30,000 new child care spaces in schools across the province to provide young children with a safe environment to learn and grow. Included in this commitment is nearly 10,000 child care spaces that will be built in new schools."

Excerpt: "Accessible early learning and child care means that opportunities are available to residents, regardless of income or geographic location. It also means that care is non-compulsory and offered through a range of services that are based on the needs identified by the community and parents. The territorial implementation of JK provided free, play-based learning opportunities for all children in the NWT. This was a fiscally responsible and feasible option as all communities had the required infrastructure available in schools with utilization rates that provided enough space for JK students."

Excerpt: "Today, Adam Vaughan, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Families, Children and Social Development, and the Honourable Ahmed Hussen, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship, announced that seven early learning and child care innovation projects in the Greater Toronto Area are receiving nearly $1.8 million in funding."

Canadian researchers offered a sneak peek of some of the results at Congress in Vancouver.
