Happy New Year, Dear Providers,
You may already be aware of the Child Care Infrastructure Grant that provides funding for child care providers to expand capacity at their homes or centers. The initial applications have to be in by Jan 31 so the time frame is super tight.
Background
The California Department of Social Services has $150 million appropriated in grants for new construction and major renovation of child care programs. Funds shall be used to make extensive alterations, structural changes, and/or major renovation to existing child care facilities, and for construction to build new child care spaces. The grant must be used to increase licensed spaces by:
Renovating or building out an existing facility by adding classrooms
Constructing a brand-new center-based facility
Replacing a facility lost due to a state or federally declared disaster
Expanding Small Family Child Care Homes to Large Family Child Care Homes
Good news! There is a team of advisors who are ready to help you navigate the application process. All of the information about the grant and the help being offered by Solano-Napa Small Business Development Center at NO COST is in this link: Child Care Infrastructure Grant - Solano-Napa SBDC (solanonapasbdc.org)
