The province has introduced a website to help assess and better understand the current demand for child care in the province.
Anyone looking for child care is asked to visit the province’s Child Care Demand Portal and share information on their child care needs.
Information collected will include the age of the child, the type of care required, and whether or not the child is currently on a wait list.
Government says the information will help to highlight where more child care spaces are needed. The next phase of the province’s Early Learning Gateway will connect parents in need of child care with available spaces.
