Parents looking for a child care space are anxiously waiting for spots to open.
Government announced yesterday the details of the wage grid in hopes of attracting back the some 600 Early Childhood Educators who left back into the field.
Education Minister John Haggie says they projecting by the end of this fiscal year 942 new spaces across the system.
He says private colleges have groups that graduate in the spring, fall and the end of the year. College of the North Atlantic’s 245 graduates will be out in June.
Haggie says he knows that’s not nearly enough spaces; governments goal is 5,800. He says spaces will increase as they get the buildings and staff.
