A new grant program has been launched in Ukraine to support entrepreneurs who aim to establish or expand preschool education facilities. This includes nurseries, mini-kindergartens, and child development centers. Applications for funding can be submitted online through the Diia app and portal.
According to the program’s terms, aspiring entrepreneurs can receive up to 500,000 UAH in grant funds without the need for personal investment. For larger projects with budgets ranging from 500,000 to 1,000,000 UAH, a co-financing model applies: 70% will be covered by the grant, while at least 30% must be provided by the entrepreneur. This option is available to sole proprietors who have been registered for more than a year.
The funds can be used partly for facility renovations, purchase of materials and equipment, and partly for business development and improving the quality of educational services. Applications are open to individuals, registered entrepreneurs, and limited liability companies.
Experts emphasize that the expansion of private preschool institutions is an important step toward improving access to quality education and childcare, particularly in response to the growing demand for educational services in Ukraine.
