So you’re expecting a baby!
When you’re having a baby, there’s never ever shortage of well-meaning mothers looking to share their stories about the pain of child birth. The truth is, the real pain comes when you try to find child care you can trust. The thought of leaving your precious baby with a total stranger, well, there’s really nothing worse for a new mom. While parents are willing to do just about anything to find caring, quality child care, sadly, for many, money can stand in the way.
In Ottawa, licensed child care ranks in the top seven of the most expensive government funded facilities in the country. And that’s just one reason why CUPE 503 is working to improve public-funding for public and not for profit child care, so that all parents and not just the ones who can afford it have quality care for their children.
