Does your community need more childcare spaces?
Childcare co-operatives are a great way for community leaders to come together and create licensed childcare centres.
We can provide the support you need to make a plan, access funding, and provide this fundamental service to your community.

The time is right
Provincial governments are making investments in childcare – their mandate is to provide access to $10/day childcare and support the creation of new spaces to help meet the needs of families.
What’s missing? People need to come together to make these childcare centres happen.

Okay, but how?
Co-operatives First can help. We offer a unique approach to creating childcare co-operatives, that brings municipalities, Indigenous communities, and other partners together with community members to create the spaces families need.
We can guide you through the process of creating a childcare co-op: all you need is a dedicated group that wants to get it started.
This initiative is supported by Prairies Economic Development Canada.
