The New Brunswick Early Learning Centre or New Brunswick Early Learning Home is a designation that is given to eligible licensed early learning and child care facilities that offer services to preschool children aged five and under through a voluntary application process. Designated New Brunswick Early Learning Centres and Early Learning Homes commit to work in collaboration with government to offer equitable and affordable access to higher quality early learning and child care services by removing barriers linked to family income, children’s ability and needs, language, and minority settings. This will be accompanied by an on-going operational funding for preschool services and improved parent subsidies. Early learning and child care facilities need to meet specific eligibility criteria in order to be designated.
