Little-Koala-Montessori_logo_0The provincial government has announced a quarter million dollars in funding to create more childcare spaces in Abbotsford.

The new spaces will be at the Little Koala Montessori Childcare facility and will include 12 spots for infants and toddlers and 41 for kids age 3 to 5.

However as in the case of a similar funding announcement earlier this year in Chilliwack, the funding will only be for expanding the facility, rather than helping families with costs for childcare.

Construction on the new spaces is expected to be complete by August.
