Authentically Ashlyn

ALBERTA MOMS: This one’s for you! Join us for a candid conversation on the ins and outs of the status of Alberta’s childcare. In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Susan Cake from ChildCare Now Alberta and Krystal Churcher from the Association of Alberta Childcare Entrepreneurs (AACE) to unravel the complexities of childcare in our province. We breakdown the impact of government intervention in an easy-to-understand way, perfect for mom’s knee-deep in the daycare dilemma. Discover the backstory: why did the government decide to shake up the childcare scene? What were parents facing before the affordability grant kicked in? And how much has changed since? We delve into the nitty-gritty, from waitlists to wallet woes. But it's not all sunshine and rainbows. Are government grants really a lifeline for childcare centers, or are they causing more harm than good? Krystal sheds light on the financial hardships faced by operators, while Dr. Susan offers a different perspective on the path forward. Join us as we envision the ideal childcare scenario: a delicate balance between affordability and quality. Is the $10/day grant the golden ticket, or is there another solution waiting in the wings? Hear from our experts on what they believe could make childcare work for everyone. Whether you're a parent, a provider, or just curious about the future of childcare in Alberta, this episode has something for you. Grab your headphones and tune in to gain valuable insights and perspectives from those in the know. -About Ashlyn- Ashlyn Gunderson is a mom, wife, business owner, life-long learner, and lover of all things words.
