Wolo Department Stores ‘a : EWS phote Terry Peter: eth erin, 17 - Sunday, November 23, 1986 - North Shore News Day care chief says B.C. child care im crisis “CHILD CARE in B.C. is in a crisis situation,’ says Penny Coates, vice-president of the Ca- nadian Day Care Advocacy Association and media coor- dinator for B.C. Daycare Action Coalition. Coates made this announcement to a group of 35 North Shore parents, daycare supervisors, and concerned citizens at Capilano College recently. “We have increasing need, a severe shortage of licensed child care services, and a critical lack of funding,’’ noted Coates. “In B.C. alone, there are over a quarter of a million children (up to 12 years old) regularly needing non-parental child care while their parents are working or studying, but we have only 17,000 licensed spaces. The current user fee struc- ture just cannot meet family needs,’’ she added. “Child care is an essential community service that crosses all! socio-economic and political boundaries. Public leadership and direct funding of services are nec- essary if parents are to have real choice in their child-care deci- sions,’’ stated Coates. “If we don’t invest in high qual- ity care of B.C,’s children during their formative years, the taxpayer will pay four times over in the long run through increased remedial education crisis, welfare and crim- inal costs,’ she forecasted. Coates .urged members of the audience to write to Premier Vander Zalm the First Ministers’ Conference, held Thursday and Friday. “Child care is on the conference agenda, and Premier Vander Zalm must be made aware that B.C. cit- izens view affordable, accessible, high-quality child care services as a priority. “*B.C.’s children are worth the investment,”’ concluded Coates.
