flag Ontario and Canada extend child-care deal, keeping fees at $19–$22 until 2026.

flag Ontario and the federal government have extended their child-care agreement for one year, keeping average daily fees at $19—capped at $22—through December 2026. flag The deal, backed by $695 million in additional federal funding, prevents potential fee increases above $30 and provides stability for families and providers. flag While the extension maintains current program structures and quality standards, it delays Ontario’s goal of achieving $10-a-day care by March 2026. flag The province continues to face challenges in meeting its target of 86,000 new child-care spaces, with staffing shortages and restrictions on for-profit providers cited as key barriers. flag Both governments are negotiating long-term funding and workforce solutions, including improved pay for early childhood educators.
