Daycare costs straining family budgets
KAMLOOPS — Kandice Roe knows all too well, the financial strain daycare can have on a parent.
“It’s hard, especially as a single parent, so that’s the hardest part for sure is trying to make it work, trying to find space is sometimes hard as well.”
For several years, Kandice’s 5-year old son has been in daycare, allowing her to attend school to become an Early Childhood Educator herself. But paying between $800 and $900 a month for full-time care, hasn’t always been easy.
