May is Child Care Month in BC

May 2026 is Child Care Month in B.C. (PDF) and Friday, May 8, 2026, is Child Care Provider Appreciation Day. Child Care Month is a time to recognize and celebrate the essential work that child care providers do to support children, families and communities. Their dedication, expertise and compassion create safe, nurturing environments where children can learn, grow and thrive. This month highlights the profound impact their work has on early learning and on the long-term well-being of families throughout the province. We are deeply grateful for their ongoing commitment, resilience, and professionalism in a field that is both challenging and incredibly meaningful.

Thank you for everything you do. Your contributions strengthen the foundation of our communities every single day. You can read Minister Beare’s statement for Child Care Month.
