Support child care workers – and ensure every child gets the care they deserve

United for Decent Work

Children need safe, enriching care provided by qualified and passionate staff. Families need affordable and accessible child care. And child care workers need decent working conditions.

High quality child care and decent work go hand in hand. 

  • Paid programming time ensures that workers can develop the kind of thoughtful, play-based curriculum that young learners need to thrive. 

  • Paid sick days guarantee that no workers are forced to make the impossible choice between their rent money or staying home when ill. 

  • WSIB coverage provides a necessary safety net in case of workplace illness and injuries for workers who do physically demanding work and can be exposed to childhood illnesses.

Make your voice heard.

Act now to send a message to child care providers and Toronto City Council that you care about the safety, health, and well-being of child care workers and Toronto’s children.
