Solving BC’s Affordability Crisis in Child Care

Financing the $10 a Day Plan

This study shows how BC can implement a $10 a day child care plan, either as a federal-provincial partnership or as a BC-only program. The province can easily afford it, and it will provide huge benefits for families, communities and the economy.

The study uses the $10 A Day Plan, developed by BC child care experts, as its basis. More information about the plan here: 10aday.ca.
