The Greater Victoria Supported Child Development (SCD) program is now providing Inclusion grant funding for spring and summer directly to out of school care and school age camps so they can hire staff to help reduce barriers in accessing inclusive child care spaces.

Inclusion funding is not tied to individual children, allowing programs more flexibility to staff and organize their camps and support any child in the community who may need extra support to participate.

In addition to the funded inclusion grants, SCD consultants will continue to provide inclusion training and universal consultant supports to child care contractors each spring and summer break.

Families register directly with the child care program as per their policies and procedures and share information regarding their child’s inclusion support needs directly to the program.

The following programs have confirmed their acceptance of the inclusion grant funding for summer 2025:
