Many Alberta parents received the unwelcome news Monday night that their daycares are planning to be part of a series of rolling closures starting Tuesday.
The Association of Alberta Childcare Entrepreneurs (AACE), which advocates for both for-profit and non-profit child-care centres and dayhome operators, said the closures are a result of the $10-per-day child-care program, which has created an “underfunded” and “restrictive” environment.
Daycare operators in multiple provinces say the federal-provincial agreements limit the fees they can charge without enough support to cover all their costs
