First Nations and Inuit Child Care Initiative
The First Nations and Inuit Child Care Initiative (FNICCI) provides access to quality child care services for First Nations and Inuit children whose parents are starting a new job or participating in a training program. The FNICCI is a component of the Aboriginal Skills and Employment Training Strategy (ASETS).
The FNICCI is a $50-million program that has supported over 8 500 child care spaces in 486 First Nations and Inuit communities across Canada. These spaces are available through your local Aboriginal agreement holder. Each Aboriginal agreement holder creates a program to best meet its clients’ needs. In most cases, this will mean pre-school spaces; some Aboriginal agreement holders also have after-school programs.
To find out if child care through this program is right for you, contact your local Aboriginal Agreement Holder.
Health Canada also offers an early childhood development program through Aboriginal Head Start on Reserve.
