Purchase of Service Agreements

A Purchase of Service Agreement is a contract between the County of Wellington and a licensed child care operator.

Two types of Purchase of Service Agreements are for Wellington General Operating Grants and for Fee Subsidies.

 Wellington General Operating Grant

 The purpose of the Wellington General Operating Grant is to support the costs of operating licensed child care programmes in order to improve access to high quality, affordable early learning and child care for children and their families.

The Wellington General Operating Grant Strategy is based on research evidence and effective practices that prioritize financial budgeting models that support the highest quality service delivery at the programme level.
