Burnaby MLA Anne Kang says Cascade Heights YMCA Childcare and Kids Club will become the latest site to offer discounted rates.
Burnaby-Deer Lake MLA Anne Kang announced Monday 91 child care spaces at Cascade Heights YMCA Childcare and Kids Club will be transitioned to the $10-a-day program, which caps fees at $200 each month per child. "As a mom, I know first hand the importance of affordable and safe childcare. $10 a Day childcare 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 to $200 a month.
