    Pre-kindergarten locations have opened in phases and will create more than 3,000 regulated child care spaces in communities by March 31, 2026.

    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. Expressions of interest are being accepted until 5:00 p.m. on Wednesday, October 30th. More information at gov.nl.ca
