Child Care Now - Nova Scotia Nova Scotia chapter of Child Care Now. Dedicated to advocating for a publicly funded, inclusive, quality, non-profit child care system.

Our organization is non-profit and membership-based. 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, educators, families, child care programs, regional and pan-Canadian groups and organizations, and are overseen by a voluntary Steering Committee. We believe…
- Child care is a cornerstone of progressive policy for children and families.
- Children and families have the right to access a child care system supported by public funds.
- Canadians deserve a comprehensive and affordable child care system that is high quality, inclusive, and non-profit.
- Families deserve a range of child care services for young and school age children.
- Those working in child care must have decent work, wages and working conditions.

Yesterday, in response to the advocacy of child care workers and advocates, Nova Scotia announced it will be implementing group employee benefits and a defined pension plan for employees working in licensed early learning and child care programs. The impacts of this announcement are being felt nationwide—advocates from coast to coast to coast are calling on their provincial and territorial governments to follow suit! 📢

Families are only able to enjoy affordable child care if they are able to access a space! 📢

On the National Day of Action for Early Learning and Child Care, we’re advocating for the provincial () and federal government to address the lack of desperately-needed child care spaces across Nova Scotia, and increase funding to expand child care to all the families who want and need them.

Too many families cannot access child care spaces in Nova Scotia!

On the National Day of Action for Early Learning and Child Care, we’re elevating the stories of families, educators, and other child care advocates to push for more spaces for children and families across the province, and calling for better wages and working conditions for the ECEs who provide care and early learning opportunities for the children who fill those spaces.

TODAY is the National Day of Action for Early Learning and Child Care! Child care advocates nationwide are pushing for a strong system of early learning and child care, and calling on the federal, provincial, and territorial governments to fulfil their promises to make this system a reality! 📢

In Nova Scotia, we’re pushing for more spaces for children and families across the province, and calling for better wages and working conditions for the ECEs who provide care and early learning opportunities for the children who fill those spaces. We’ll be sharing stories from families on their experiences accessing high-quality child care across the province, and ECEs working in the sector.

We’ve also created some printable colouring pages, available on our website for you to print and share! 🖍️Find them at the link in the bio!

More child care spaces are desperately needed across Nova Scotia—but so are early childhood educators and other workers in the sector who provide care and early learning opportunities to the children who will fill those spaces. They go hand-in-hand! 👋🏼

Tomorrow, on the National Day of Action for Early Learning and Child Care, we’ll be highlighting both these issues with stories from parents, families, and educators. Stay tuned! 📢

Only THREE days until the National Day of Action for Early Learning and Child Care! The federal government is investing $30 billion in building a system of early learning and child care across the country—but more investments are needed to build a strong child care system. On November 30th, Child Care Now will be going to pushing the federal and provincial governments to fulfil its promises on lowering fees, creating spaces, and supporting ECEs, to ensure the plan is rolled out right—in Nova Scotia, and across Canada
