This grant focuses on expanding the number of slots in currently licensed child care spaces by at least 50% or by moving to a new location, which results in a new license. It targets high-needs counties to increase child care availability. Eligibility criteria include being an owner of a child care program, working with a Child Care Aware Start-up Coordinator and Health and Safety Specialist for at least 45 days, and submitting the application within 60 days of expansion. The grant provides substantial financial support, with awards up to $100,000 depending on the licensed capacity.
