Early childhood services are twinned in New Brunswick and have been the responsibility of the Department of Education and Early Childhood Development since 2011. Funding is provided in the preschool instruction budgets.
As our colleague from Prince Edward Island mentioned, the 2021–2026 Canada-New Brunswick Canada-Wide Early Learning and Child Care Action Plan also funds some of the early childhood services.
In our province, approximately half of our children should be able to receive preschool instruction in French, but they don't have any designated $10 spaces in the day care centres.
