Province Announces 780 New Child Care Spots

Scott Fielding, the Provincial Families Minister, announced late last week that the Manitoba Government will be creating 780 new child care spaces across the province, including 12 new spaces here in Thompson.

 

Those new spots will be a $22.8M investment in child care, made through the Canada-Manitoba Early Learning and Child Care Agreement.

 

Fielding said that the new spaces will be created through new construction, as well as funding for 621 existing spaces at 63 child care centres.

 

Of the 20 projects being announced, 10 are being developed within schools, which will produce around 424 new spaces. 10 projects developed in the community locations will result in 356 new spaces.

 

Thompson Children's World is the only centre in Thompson, and the north, that will see new spaces created. There will be an additional four spots for infants and eight for pre-school children for a total for 12 new spots.

 

More information on where the spots will be created can be found here.
