Start-Up Grants for Becoming a Licensed Child Care Facility

The start-up grants program is designed to increase the number of licensed child care spaces available to B.C. families by supporting existing unlicensed child care providers, as well as individuals new or returning to the child care sector, who wish to begin operating a licensed Family or In-Home Multi-Age (IHMA) child care facility. The grants assist with the costs associated with obtaining a Community Care Facility Licence to operate a licensed child care facility.
