Graphic with text that reads: “In a cost of living crisis, parents are depending on affordable child care to be able to support their families.” The background is teal with circular accents. On the left, a child care worker wearing a lanyard leans forward with open hands while a baby crawls nearby. In the centre, a parent pushes a stroller with a smiling child inside. On the right, an older adult sits in a chair holding a young child. In the bottom right corner is the “Keep the Child Care Promise” logo with a stylized tree icon.

Affordable, universal child care is crucial for families and the Canadian economy. With gaps in federal investment putting access at risk, families could face higher fees and longer waitlists.
