Manitoba’s Five-Year Plan for Child
Care (2002–2007) set a clear direction and ambitious goals to
maintain and improve the quality, accessibility and affordability
of early learning and child care for Manitoba’s children and their
families. The plan includes children with disabilities. With significant
new provincial investments and financial support from the federal
government, most of the major elements of the plan will be completed
by March 2007.
A new five-year federal funding commitment to early learning and
child care (2005-06 to 2009-10) allows Manitoba to keep building
on these achievements. This new federal revenue will not displace
existing provincial investments. It will support new improvements
and expansion of Manitoba’s regulated early learning and child care
system with a focus on children under age six.
Manitoba’s Action Plan – Key Objectives describes how Manitoba
intends to invest new federal funds to meet the targets set out
in the five-year plan. It also outlines how the Province will fulfill
the objectives of the 2005 Agreement-in-Principle between Manitoba
and the Government of Canada.
