Two grant opportunities now available for early childhood programs.

To apply, providers must:

• Be an HHS licensed or self-declared provider.
• Care for a child with a current: 
  • Individualized Education Program (IEP), or
  • Individualized Family Service Plan (IFSP).
• Submit all required application materials.

Non-Traditional Hour Grant

Applications for the Non-Traditional Hour Grant also open June 1.

This grant helps early childhood programs offer care outside regular daytime hours. This may include evenings, nights, weekends or overnight care for families with non-traditional work schedules.

HHS plans to fund one or two programs through this grant opportunity.

Limited Opportunity

• Funding is limited and competitive.
• Communities that have already received this grant are not eligible to apply at this time. This helps expand services to new areas of the state.
