Help Design Quebec's New Childcare Registration Portal

Open Policy & Studies Education Housing & Communities
Quebec is replacing La Place 0-5, the current childcare waitlist system, with a new registration portal. The Ministry of Family wants input from parents and childcare providers on how the new system should work. The portal launches in phases starting fall 2025.

Why This Matters

Looking for daycare in Quebec? This affects how you'll find and secure a spot for your child. The current system frustrates many parents with long waits and confusing processes. The new portal aims to make access fairer and more transparent.

What Could Change

The new portal will replace La Place 0-5 entirely. Admission policies will be standardized across daycares to improve fairness. Parents should see clearer information about their position on waitlists and how spots are allocated.

Key Issues

  • How should the new registration portal work for parents?
  • What admission criteria should determine access to childcare spots?
  • How can the system be more transparent and equitable?
