Access to affordable, quality, and inclusive child care is expanding for families in Richmond as 220 new licensed child care spaces open.

Kids in Richmond will be welcomed with hundreds of new student spaces this September thanks to prefabricated expansions at two elementary schools.

Students in Richmond’s fast-growing school district will see 275 new student spaces next school year.

Families with preschool and school-aged children will have more money in their wallets preparing to go back to school with new child care savings in B.C.

More children and youth will have access to healthy meals and snacks at school through the Province’s new Feeding Futures funding, which invests in building and expanding local school food programs.

Investments in child care continue to save money for families throughout British Columbia by putting money back into the pockets of parents and making life more affordable as child care fee reductions take effect.
