The Working for Families Fund has provided tailored childcare for 450 parents in the disadvantaged Easterhouse and Castlemilk areas since its launch in 2003.
The project includes a new Sitter Service, where parents who work outside the traditional 8am to 6pm period will be able to access affordable babysitters.
Another new initiative, the Pre-Intermediate Labour Market Project, will allow parents to continue to receive benefits while gaining part-time work experience in the childcare sector.
The Scottish Executive has provided 2.5m-a-year of funding for the Glasgow programme for 2004/05 and 2005/06.
