Operating Grant for Providers
Keeping You Informed
DSS is here to help and support local child care centers as they make the decision of whether and when to reopen. A one-time grant has been made available to licensed and registered child care providers to assist them in remaining open or reopening quickly and safely. Funds are designed to help child care providers that have had to close or have lost revenue due to low enrollments during the last several weeks as a result of COVID-19. This grant opportunity is available to assist providers in paying for their child care facility expenses, including rent/mortgage payments, utility bills, cleaning or sanitation costs, and personnel costs.
