1. The 2026 Canadian Childcare Market

The federal $10-a-day program has triggered massive expansion in centre capacity while tightening operational margins. For investors, the focus has shifted from "setup" to "Total Cost of Ownership."

Supply chains have stabilized into two lanes: Local High-Cost Retail Und Strategic Direct Sourcing. Choosing factory-direct isn't just cost-saving—it's a competitive necessity.
