YMCA of Greater Moncton is proud to announce that, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Premier Blaine Higgs have reached a historic agreement to implement $10-a-day child care for families across New Brunswick within the next five years.  Additionally, the Prime Minister announced that by the end of next year, child care fees will be halved in the Province with the introduction of 3400 new Early Learning and Child Care spaces across the province.

The significant announcement was made at the YMCA of Greater Moncton’s Vaughan Harvey Child Care site and furthers the federal government’s plan to invest $491 million over five years to cut child care prices across Canada to an average of $10 per day as outlined in the 2021 federal budget.

The YMCA of Greater Moncton, along with the YMCA of Greater Saint John and YMCA of Fredericton, provide high-quality, licenced child care throughout the province in both urban and rural settings. With over 40 years of experience in child care, YMCAs provide a safe, nurturing environment where children have fun, learn new things, and most importantly, look forward to going to every day.

“As a charity dedicated to serving families and the leading non-profit early learning and child care provider in the community, we look forward to working with all levels of government to support and advocate for the successful implementation of expanded and affordable child care.”
