Maximum Eligible Amount
Government Grant
Fund Type
The Province is investing more in the child-care system that thousands of Nova Scotia families rely on to care for their young children. Child-care operators will receive more funding for infant spaces, rising operational costs and staff wages under new annual agreements with the Province.
The new funding agreements also include:
- a one-time grant, with a median rate of about $17,300 for centres, that will help address rising operational costs; it will be available to centre-based operators, family home providers, and the Nova Scotia Before and After Program
- an added wage premium of $1.50 per hour for early childhood educators (ECEs) with advanced practitioner program certificates
- grants for family home child-care providers who are trained ECEs
- additional funding to centres for untrained staff to reflect minimum wage increases.
