Québec solidaire (QS) wants to cut waiting lists by 70% in the early childhood network, which has been short of places for years. To do this, the political formation relies on a new model: the “micro-CPE”.
If elected in October, QS would spend $610 million annually to build 37,000 new early childhood centers in a first term. Among these, CPE “from 8 to 20 places which can be installed in existing premises”, “micro-CPE”.
According to this new kind of model, which “will particularly serve the regions”, the educators would work in “small teams of 2 to 4”. “They will be able to help each other and offer flexible time slots for families,” said Québec solidaire co-spokesperson Gabriel Nadeau-Dubois in a press release.
According to the latest news, 52,000 young people were waiting for a place in daycare in Quebec.
