HALDIMAND—A new report from the Ministry of Education shows 395 licensed child care spaces were created in Haldimand Norfolk by public and/or private sector child care providers in 2018-19.

“These additional spaces will assist parents in having more choice for childcare in the riding,” said Haldimand Norfolk MPP Toby Barrett. Across Ontario, over 19,000 licensed childcare spaces were created during that same time period. Research demonstrates a clear link between a solid foundation in children’s early years and their long-term development and success. That is why Ontario is committed to improving access to childcare, giving parents more choice and making high quality programs affordable.
