Unlock benefits for your home daycare in Nunavut

Press Release

Do you want to start a daycare in your home?

By law, caring for more than four children under the age of 12 in your home requires a licence from the Department of Education. Take your care to the next level by becoming a licensed provider.

Becoming a licensed provider enables you to:

• Obtain a government subsidy so you can offer $10 a day child care to parents.
• Receive additional funding to support your daycare business, including start-up support, language and culture programming, operations and maintenance, and more.
• Access early learning resources that reflect Inuit culture and life in Nunavut, available in all official languages.
• Benefit from specialized training and ongoing support in all aspects of child care.
• Join a network of care providers and support services.

For more information, visit the Department of Education’s Early Learning and Child Care, Centre Licensing webpage.
