The Operating Grant Program (OGP) is a key component of the Canada-Newfoundland and Labrador Canada-Wide Early Learning and Child Care Agreement. The OGP helps to address the affordability of child care services for families with young children throughout Newfoundland and Labrador. Effective January 1, 2023, the OGP requires participating regulated child care services (child care centres and family homes) to lower their rates to $10 per day for Infant, Toddler, Preschool and Full-Day School-Age children.
