Child Care Grant Information for Prairie 5 area in MN...

Child Care Providers in the Prairie 5 CCR&R area,

I would like to take this opportunity to remind you that Child Care Resource & Referral will again be offering grants beginning September 1, 2008. They are offering free grant workshops in August to take you step-by-step through the newly formatted grant applications. They will answer any of your questions about applying for a grant, and explain how grants are funded.

There will be door prizes, and information about discounts you can receive when ordering items for your grant.

On September 1, you can get a grant application by visiting the website or contacting me at
tinap5@willmarnet.com or (800)292-5437 to have an application mailed or emailed to you. You can visit our website (www.midwestchildcare.com) now for more information about what you can apply for and what the requirements are. The deadline to apply is September 25, 2008.

If you have never applies for a grant for your child care business, I encourage you to do so. They are not difficult to do. This class will make it even easier. As a member of the Grant Committee for many years, it amazes me that there are not more providers that take advantage of this option for funding improvements and needs in their child care business.
