Small Grant Info Session (for-profit programs) - EEC Capital Projects

The Department of Early Education and Care (EEC) has opened capital opportunities for early education and out-of-school time facilities that serve low-income families. For the first time, for-profit child care centers and out-of-school time programs that serve at least 50% of children who receive child care financial assistance will be eligible. Grants will provide $200,000 - $500,000 in funding per project. 

These capital grants will allow center-based early education providers to improve the spaces where children learn. The grant allows for a variety of improvements including, but not limited to, modifications to improve indoor air quality, emergency repairs such as roof replacement or upgrading electrical or security systems, and physical environment modifications addressing accessibility or other upgrades for classrooms, outdoor areas, and more. Previous capital projects supported by EEC have ranged from outdoor sensory paths to new keycard security systems to adding multiple classrooms and bathrooms at a center.

We hope you come to learn more about the opportunities and ask your questions to the team.
