The Ministry of Children and Family Development (MCFD) recognizes the importance of recruiting qualified Early Childhood Educators (ECEs) to support the availability of quality child care spaces. To address the shortage of ECEs in the province, MCFD is launching an ECE Incentive Grant Program. This grant will provide ECEs who have not worked in a licensed child care facility for at least two years with an incentive grant to attract them to employment in a licensed child care facility. A maximum of 100 full time applicants will be approved to receive this grant.

In this section you will find information on eligibility, how to apply and frequently asked questions.
