Report card gives Manitoba child care system a failing grade

EXCERPTS

WINNIPEG -- A report card released Wednesday by Manitoba Child Care Coalition, on the state of child care in the province found the system is failing children.

“Manitoba’s child care system is under severe strain,” said coalition member Molly McCracken at a news conference in the Manitoba Legislature. 

The non-profit organization, made up of advocates, parents and child care workers, are advocating for universal child care. They say child care fees are too high and wages are too low for early childhood educators.
