PUBLIC FUNDING FOR REGULATED
CHILD CARE (1998)
Recurring funding
Operating grants Available
to centres licensed before September 1995. In 1998, the total number was
frozen: operating grants became available to a new centre, or family day
home only when old funded spaces closed. This freeze was lifted April 1,
1999 so all licensed child care programs now receive an operating grant.
