Federal Childcare Program

Funding for the National Childcare Program for First Nation children is delivered through Human Resources Skills Development (HRSDC) and then contracted through Aboriginal Human Resource Development Associations, such as Skeena Native Development.

This program covers operation related child-care costs and is to be used in a complimentary fashion with other sources of funding. Funding is NOT for construction, renovation, or for the purchase or acquisition of buildings.

The Skeena Native Development has adopted the National Head Start Program as a “minimum standard”.

Skeena Native Development currently assists the following day-care facilities:

- Kitselas Village Council

- Kitsumkalum Village Council

-New Aiyansh Village Council

-Lax galts’ap Village Council

- Kitamaat Village Council

- Old Massett Village Council

- Skidegate Village Council

-Lax Kw’alaams Village Council

Organizations and/or villages who submit more than one proposal per fiscal year will be asked to prioritize their applications in order of preference.
