The province is making new funding available to help those Islanders offering licensed child care and early learning in their homes. Capital grants of up to $15-thousand are available to licensed centres for home renovations and buying furniture and equipment. Grants of up to $8,000 are being offered to enhance programming and create infant spaces. Regulations were changed as of October, that increased the number of children that can be cared for in a licensed home centre from six to eight, depending on the age of the children.
