Niagara Invests in Child Care
The Children's Services Department of the Regional Municipality of Niagara makes numerous investments in the community's licensed child care and family resource programs. Among these investments are tuition subsidies for the owners, managers, and staff of these programs to attend professional development events coordinated by the ECCDC. Others include helping the ECCDC offset some of the costs of providing other services and supports child care providers urgently need. These investments allow Niagara's child care providers to be among the best qualified and equipped in the country, and make all other sources of child care revenue go further.
