Thousands of British Columbians are excited and energized by the Community Plan for a Public System of Integrated Early Care and Learning. The Plan offers a “made-in BC” solution to the current child care crisis and incorporates the best of quality child care and the best of public education.
Now it’s time for decision makers to endorse the Plan and move it forward so that children, families, communities and our economy are served by a high quality, universal, democratic and accountable system of early care and learning.
