Child Care Services Grants provide funds to help cover the cost of supplies, equipment, technology, and training. Grant funds are offered annually and are awarded competitively to qualified child care programs. Child Care Services Grants are administered through our District offices. Regional Grant applications are available on September 1 of each year and must be submitted by September 25 for consideration. Each year, the Department of Human Services and Child Care Aware determine Regional Grant priorities. This year’s priorities are strategies and activities that increase the capacity of early educators to promote health and well-being, mental health, child development, assessment, and technology for professional use.

Some of our District offices also have funding available year-round to help with program start-up costs and emergencies. For more information on available grants, grant priorities, and application instructions, contact your local Grant Administrator.
