    Government is looking for Expressions of Interest from not-for-profit organizations to operate one or more of 12 site locations for pre-kindergarten programming.  Pre-kindergarten locations have opened in phases and will create more than 3,000 regulated child care spaces in communities by March 31, 2026. There are currently 34 pre-kindergarten program locations operating in the province, representing close to 600 early learning and child care spaces. The pre-kindergarten program runs full-time, including during the summer months and during traditional after school hours. As a regulated full-day early learning program under the Operating Grant Program, participating families will pay $10 per day.
