Wage and Home Child Care Enhancement Grant
Wage and Home Child Care Enhancement Grant applications must be submitted no later than April 30, 2024 in order to be considered for wage enhancement funds.
The Government of Ontario is providing a wage enhancement for eligible child care workers and enhancement grants for home child care providers.
The enhancement grant initiative will support the increase of up to $2 per hour (and 17.5% benefits) for individuals who work in licensed child care centres. The home child care enhancement grant will support a grant of up to $20 per day for home child care providers who are contracted to work with a licensed agency.
All eligible workers in licensed child care are entitled to this funding. Child care operators must complete an application each year so that their early childhood education staff will receive the funding they are entitled to.
One-time Funding Grants
Non-Profit and For-Profit Licensed Child Care Operators can apply for these grants.
