The Alward Government wants to raise the number of licensed daycare spaces in the province from 20 thousand to 30 thousand over the next four years.
The Director of the Early Childhood Education Centre at U-N-B Fredericton Pam Whitty tells CHSJ News the province is making the right moves with the goal being every child having access to early childhood development before starting school.
Whitty says making early childhood development part of the education department has many benefits including better facilities and greater access to daycare with better trained staff.
