Government Grant
Fund Type
New financial support is available for people who provide child care in their home and want to be licensed to operate as a family home centre.
As outlined in the Canada-Prince Edward Island Canada-wide Early Learning and Child Care Agreement, Prince Edward Island will use federal investments to support greater access to regulated child care spaces for children under school age. To help ensure Island parents have access to child care close to their home or to work, the province will increase supports to home child care providers. Family home child care is an important option available to parents in Prince Edward Island to have their children cared for in a home setting, by someone other than a parent, guardian, or family member.
The new grant programs will provide support to licensed home child care providers to reduce parent fees to $25/day, fund wages and professional development, and purchase materials, equipment, or supplies; fund capital projects and equipment purchases; and help currently-unlicensed home child care providers with the costs associated with seeking licensing from the province.ows licensed Family Home Centres, or individuals applying for a Family Home Centre licence to receive funding, to a maximum of $25,000, under following categories:
