Ontario calls for investing $2.2 billion for free child care

Leaders in Ontario, Canada’s second-largest province, are talking a giant step forward: calling for a $2.2 billion plan to create full-day, fully licensed child care for "preschool children from the age of two-and-a-half until they are eligible to start kindergarten, beginning in 2020."

Families would save some $17,000 per child.

"We listened to parents, educators and child care providers across the province, and they’ve told us this move is the right one to make," Kathleen Wynne, the premier of Ontario said. "This investment will make life more affordable for families and allow more parents to make the choice to go back to work, knowing their child is safe and cared for."
