Excerpt: "The early learning and child care infrastructure investment will support the creation of new child care spaces when and where families need it. This will be done by ensuring that the allocation of the early learning and child care infrastructure funding prioritize diverse NWT community settings and those that are in higher need of child care. Additional interrelated priorities include: communities where families face barriers to accessing licensed child care programs; communities where there are no existing early learning and child care facilities, especially for children birth to age 3; access and inclusion for families who identify as vulnerable, equity seeking, and those with children with developmental needs. This priority includes existing facilities that require infrastructure updates to meet the demands of children with developmental needs."
