Chilliwack, Nanaimo-Ladysmith, Nechako Lakes first school districts involved in new program
The B.C. government is integrating new morning and afternoon child-care spaces within school grounds, but the new program will initially only involve a small number of communities.
“It’s good news for parents, their kids are looked after before and after school in the same building where they spend their days in the K-12 program and it’s good news for the province because when we support parents being able to return to work, we make life a little bit less stressful for them,” he said.
“This is just the beginning of our work with school boards on this and our goal is to roll it out right across the province,” Eby told reporters. Integrating spaces within schools will make commuting more convenient by creating a single drop-off location, will help parents who work full-time and eases a child’s transition into the K-12 system, said Mitzi Dean, minister for the state of child care.
“I know how many parents struggle and juggle to try and fit work, drop-off, pick-up, meals and everything, and having after school and before school in one place, one location, creates so much ease and efficiency,” Klassen said.
