Close to 100 more reduced-cost child-care spaces will soon be available in Burnaby

Burnaby-Deer Lake

MLA Anne Kang announced Monday (Jan. 30) 91 child-care spaces at Cascade HeightsYMCA

Childcare and Kids Club will be transitioned to the $10-a-day program, which caps fees at $200 each month per child.

The facility is licensed for under 36 months, age 3 to 5 years and school-age.

“As a mom, I know first hand the importance of affordable and safe child care. $10-a-day child care goes a long way to making life more affordable for families,” Kang said in a news release

“By reducing fees for these sites, we’re helping more parents, especially mothers, to pursue their goals and achieve financial independence and security, which benefits our entire Burnaby community.”

The province says the average cost of child care will drop from roughly $1,000 a month at participating facilities (full-time, centre-based infant care) to $200 a month.
