Ontario to cut funding for non-participating childcare centers starting 2025, possibly leading to fee increases or closures.

Ontario will cut funding for childcare centers not participating in the $10-a-day program starting in 2025, which may lead to fee increases or closures. Non-participating centers will lose access to operating and wage grants, and new families will not receive subsidies for children under five. The province aims to create 86,000 new childcare spaces, but only 25,500 are currently available within the program. A federal cap on for-profit spaces is limiting growth.
