The Child Care Capacity Building Fund opens in phases, with a focus on communities where families’ child care needs aren’t being met.
The priority phase is now open to child care providers who:
Identify as Black, Indigenous, or people of color
Provide services in languages other than English
Care for children with disabilities
Provide culturally specific services
The second phase of funding will open on March 20 to all eligible child care providers.
The care you give brings joy to children and peace of mind to families. With this grant, we are supporting child care providers like you who make a difference for so many.
Funding is flexible for you to open or grow your business, like:
Supplies, furnishings and materials needed for classrooms and early learning spaces
Repairs or updates to a child care center or home-based facilities
Outdoor play structures, new fencing and other equipment
Up to six months of start-up funding, including wages for staff
Technology and software
Insurance costs and licensing fees
We’re focused on providing funds for communities where families face the greatest challenges getting the care they need. We will be funding priority providers first.
