Excerpts

New Brunswick is adding thousands of designated preschool child-care spaces in areas of the province with the greatest need.

The provincial government had already committed to creating 3,400 new designated preschool early learning and child-care spaces by March 2026. That target has now increased by 200, bringing the new total to 3,600.

The provincial government says it has several initiatives underway to support retention, recruitment and recognition of early childhood educators, including:

  • tuition reimbursement for administrators and educators pursuing their college certificate and diploma in early childhood education
  • a micro-credentialling program designed in collaboration with the New Brunswick Community College and the Collège Communautaire du Nouveau-Brunswick for qualifying early childhood educators
  • an annual review of the early childhood educators wage grid
