The provincial Government of Newfoundland and Labrador provides financial incentives to Family Child Care Providers who wish to become regulated and approved. Policies are available on the government’s website.

Family Home child Care Operating Grant Program (OGP)

The Operating Grant Program (OGP) is available to participating regulated family child care providers. This program offers parents more affordable child care while subsidizing rates through the Canada-Newfoundland and Labrador Early Learning and Child Care Agreement.  Parents pay a set fee per day; child care provider fees are then topped up according to a set rate.
