National $10-a-day child-care program expected to miss target, report says
January 27, 2026
The national child-care program that promised to reduce fees to about $10 a day by this spring is expected to be approximately 90,000 spaces short of its target, and most of the licensed spots that have opened are in the for-profit sector, according to a Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives report.
The federal government announced the Canada-wide Early Learning and Child Care program in the 2021 budget. By March, 2022, the provinces and territories had all agreed to create more than 284,000 spaces by March 31, 2026.
