Join me in rising up for child care! Tell the Ontario government they must work with the federal government to solve the child care crisis. https://t.co/N39BrAL5qo

We've waited far too long. It's time for fed/prov governments to value women - and their work - and recognize that we need high-quality, affordable, regulated child care options (home and group centres). A tax credit doesn't give choice - a child care system does. #childcare

[Joe Cressy @joe_cressy]

There will be no real recovery without affordable and accessible childcare.

Now is the time to build a universal childcare system for all.

[AECEO @AECEO]

In the Speech From the Throne, the Government announced a commitment to “a significant, long-term, sustained investment to create a Canada-wide early learning and childcare system.” This shows the power of advocacy and raising our collective voice.

This is absolutely right for #cdnchildcare - first a really good plan, then the effective execution - which is critical #cdnpoli

Canada needs a universal, accessible, and publicly funded child care system.

Child care is integral to our economic and social recovery—now more than ever, we need governments to rise up and deliver on child care.

Has COVID-19 created universal child care’s moment in Canada? https://t.co/2q29BXW6lb via @torontostar #cdnchcildcare

[Bruce Arthur @bruce_arthur]

This makes the point that Ontario's child care policy wasn't just a timing issue: it's a policy failure. Daycares got no warning, AND they're not getting enough support, so it adds up to relative failure in helping to re-starting the economy, too. https://t.co/RTpRqFjejz

[Childcare Resource and Research Unit @childcarepolicy]

Those interested in a well-crafted, consultative re-opening plan for childcare & schools, see this from Govt/Scotland https://t.co/03amXuwTaw. Illustrates how to do this without widespread mistrust or doublespeak #cdnchildcare #cdnpoli #onpoli #abpoli @ChildCareON

"The #COVID19 pandemic should force us to reimagine our #childcare system, to put it at the core of social & economic recovery." Absolutely! Great op-ed by leaders in @ChildCareON and @AECEO. #FordFailsFamilies #ONpoli

@Sflecce Where is the funding to support your "plan"? This isn't a plan, you just downloaded your responsibility to educators in one of the worst paid professions in Canada. #FordFailsFamilies

[urbanfairytale @lisaj_RECE]

I became a #RECE because I was inspired by the ECEs I met for the first time when I was a young mom. It was a difficult time in my life but having support for my children and a purpose for my life saved me! Not sure where I would be now without childcare. #ListenUpLecce

[Fix Our Schools @Fix_Our_Schools]

Early Childhood Educators: "If Premier Ford and Minister Lecce are scratching their heads and wondering why so many child care centres are refusing to open their doors until this hot mess is fixed, perhaps they should put their listening ears on." https://t.co/zSGttQIHvU
