As of February, the 2024/25 Funding Agreement is available for eligible child care providers to review and agree to the terms. To ensure full approval, providers must agree to the terms and conditions of the 2024/25 Funding Agreement by completing the declaration section of their program confirmation form. Providers who pre-claimed for April 2024 started to receive program funding on April 1, 2024, the start of the 2024/25 funding term. Providers will have until April 30, 2024, to renew their funding and be eligible for April funding. Providers can check for the most up-to-date status of their Child Care Operating Funding renewal using My ChildCareBC Services. Those providers approved to participate in the Early Childhood Educator Wage Enhancement (ECE-WE) may submit monthly ECE enrolment reports using the ECE Reporting Tool starting May 1, for hours worked in April 2024. Payments are calculated based on the total number of hours worked each month, which is why the ECE-WE is reported and paid after the end of each month.
