        The Lullaboo team are closely watching the

        Canadian Government’s accessible daycare
        program announced in 2022. “Affordable

        childcare is definitely a smart idea,” says Mikhael.

        “Government policy that is introduced that can
        subsidize the cost of high-quality programs for

        families and parents is a great idea. However,
        competing on low costs in childcare is dangerous.

        Lullaboo will always strive to deliver high-quality

        programming and participate in government
        programs that will help families achieve the balance

        they need.”



        Mikhael cautions that policy needs to be

        sustainable and scalable, however. “While these

        programs are created, they also cannot be short-
        sighted. Built in checks and balances that ensures

        affordability remains in tact while delivering high
        quality programming. Increasing the supply of

        childcare must be included as a priority, as price

        pressures will never be solved without equalizing
        supply and demand.”                                     they leave their children. No other factor is as

                                                                important then this. Driving genuine, wholesome
        A FOUNDATION BUILT IN TRUST                             participation across the organization contributes

        When asked why parents continually put their            relationship between Lullaboo and families. It
        trust in Lullaboo, Mikhael says, “At the end of the     guides interactions on a daily basis and contributes

        day, parents must trust the people and the place        to the environment around each child.”
