The Province has introduced legislation to enable school districts in B.C. to support families with more child care on school grounds.

Early literacy screening will help students with reading challenges, including those with dyslexia and other learning disabilities, to get help with reading sooner.

Families in 12 communities throughout the province are benefiting from 640 new child care spaces on school grounds, expanding access to high-quality child care for young children, as well as before- and after-school care.

Students, staff and the surrounding community are one step closer to more on-campus supports at Simon Fraser University (SFU) - Burnaby as construction starts on a new student residence and will begin later this year on a new child care facility.  

Students and families will have more access to affordable child care spaces and a new centre to train early childhood educators (ECE) at Capilano University (CapU) in North Vancouver. 

Lisa Beare, Minister of Education and Child Care, has released the following statement in celebration of Education Week 2025:
