All licensed child care facilities in BC which currently receive funding through the provincial Child Care Operating Funding program (CCOF) will receive a portion of the Child Care Quality Enhancement Fund in 2008. This funding will be mailed directly to child care organizations in late February, 2008.
The Child Care Quality Enhancement Fund will allow child care providers funded through BC’s Child Care Operating Funding Program (CCOF) to invest in:
-learning materials, supplies, equipment that will contribute to quality child care and enhance the developmental growth of children;
-minor capital enhancements and/or facility repairs or renovations;
-funding for early childhood educators and child care providers to participate in professional development and training opportunities
A complete list of the child care providers who will receive funding through the Child Care Quality Enhancement Fund will be posted on the BC Council for Families website in February. Childcare operators will be contacted directly in mid February with further details of the funding and to solicit their opinions and feedback on the childcare sector in BC. BC Council for Families
