@Sflecce Huge news for early childhood educators in Ontario this morning! They have been the backbone of the COVID recovery effort, and this is another step towards normal for them. In the words of Tom Brady: https://t.co/2h34lQCXVQ #EarlyChildhood

All told, ambitious plan but light on details. The creation of another 'Advisory Panel' will feel like groundhog day, but if they can achieve it, it would indeed be this government's legacy.

Budget 2021 Childcare - The Good:
- Sustained funding
- Focus on accessibility and quality
- Reduction of parent fees

- Recognition this will not be easy

Budget 2021 Childcare - The Bad (continued):
- With a 5 year timeframe, most parents with children in care today will never see this benefit them directly
- Use of the word 'on average' which means not everyone will pay $10 a day. More details are needed on this for broad support

while also respecting parent choice, success is achievable in the long run. While the Quebec model makes for a good case study, the conditions that initially drove it were unique, and the outcome we see today has not been entirely what they planned. #childcare #federalbudget2021

With $2B expected to be earmarked towards child care in the Federal Budget today, the devil will be in the details. Child care is Provincial jurisdiction, and a push for a 'national' system has failed because of this in the past.

Each day, more of our educators are receiving their vaccines. Helping Hands Daycare wants to send a big thank you to our healthcare partners who are exhaustively running vaccine clinics and going through their waitlists each night to ensure no dose goes unused. @DurhamHealth

Well done to Min @Sflecce and the Vaccine Distribution Task Force. Including early childhood educators in Phase 2 was the correct decision. They have worked so hard to create a sense of normal for children in our communities, and the importance of their work has been recognized.
