Excerpt: "Child care is also a powerful economic engine. A report from the Centre for the Study of Living Standards, in partnership with YMCA Canada, found that every dollar spent on improving ECE wages can generate up to $2.06 in economic return. Investing in the workforce helps attract and keep the educators needed to add child care spaces, and provides the opportunity for more children and families to flourish."
