Child Care Now Alberta

Child Care Now Alberta Alberta chapter of Child Care Now. Dedicated to advocating for a publicly funded, inclusive, quality child care system.

Our organization is non-profit and membership-based. Child Care Now was founded after the second national child care conference held in Winnipeg in 1982. There, over 700 delegates from all provinces and territories called for an effective voice to pursue child care issues at the federal level and promote a broad consensus within all regions of Canada. Although incorporated under the name Child Car

e Advocacy Association of Canada (CCAAC) / L’Association canadienne pour la promotion des services de garde l’enfance, in 2017, we decided to carry on our work under a new name: "Child Care Now" in English and "Un Enfant Une Place" in French. Today, Child Care Now continues to work with provincial and territorial child care organizations and a broad range of other groups including unions, anti-poverty organizations, employers, municipalities, and those advocating for human and women’s rights. We are supported by a broad membership base of individuals, families, child care programs, regional and pan-Canadian groups and organizations, and are overseen by a voluntary Board of Directors.

In a cost-of-living crisis, families are depending on the federal government to follow through with their promise on $10aDay child care. Yet, without increased federal investment, families risk paying higher fees and longer waitlists for child care.
Affordable child care is essential to Canada’s economy, enabling parents, especially women, to return to work, support their families, and grow the economy.
