An additional 27 childcare spaces opened in Richmond in September as part of the province’s drive to increase availability across B.C.
The spaces are at Alderwood House Program, located at RJ Tait Elementary School.
“Parents and children in Vancouver, New Westminster, Richmond and communities across the province are benefiting every day from our historic investments in child care,” said Aman Singh, MLA for Richmond–Queensborough. “Having more child care spaces open means more parents can go back to work or school to pursue their goals because they know their kids are being cared for and nurtured.”
The new spaces were funded through the province’s Child Care Rapid Renovation Fund, which provided approximately $11 million to non-profit groups, schools and other public-sector organizations to quickly create new child care spaces.
The Child Care Rapid Renovation Fund supported the creation of 912 new licensed child care spaces in 20 communities throughout B.C. Since 2018, tens of thousands of families have benefited from better access to more affordable child care, with some parents saving as much as $1,600 a month.
