If you like kids and want to work from home, you might want to consider becoming a licensed child care provider.
As the province’s population continues to rise, the Government of Saskatchewan is encouraging residents to consider this option.
“As part of our government’s Plan for Growth, we are committed to increasing the number of quality early learning and child care opportunities in Saskatchewan,” Deputy Premier and Education Minister Gordon Wyant said in a press release.
“Grant money, professional supports and training opportunities are all being offered to assist new licensed home-based child care providers get their business started.”
Funding has been provided for the creation of new licensed child care home spaces in the province, thanks to the Canada-Saskatchewan Early Learning and Child Care Agreement.
Potential caregivers have access to:
- grant money to help with start-up and food costs;
- training and workshops;
- assistance from educated child care consultants; and
- inclusion in government materials provided to parents seeking child care.
Details on grants available, training, eligibility and how to apply can be found on the Government of Saskatchewan website.
