Scott Moe and the Sask. Party are putting affordable childcare at risk.
Families were promised $10-a-day childcare. But because of Scott Moe’s harmful changes to childcare funding, providers warn they may have to raise fees, cut spaces, lay off staff, or close their doors.
Some families are already being told they will have to pay new mandatory fees just to keep their childcare spot. At the same time, the Sask. Party has cut proper support for part-time and casual spaces relied on by nurses, continuing care aides, first responders, shift workers, and parents of kindergarten children and those whose schedules do not fit a Monday-to-Friday workweek.
This is not what Saskatchewan families were promised.
