Child Care Provider Academy

IMPORTANT: OCDEL Announces Workforce Support Grants

To assist DHS certified child care providers in addressing this ongoing work force crisis, the Work Force Support Grants focuses on supporting child care staff that have continued to provide services to children throughout the pandemic but also supports providers with expenses related to staff recruitment and retention costs. Fundable activities include $2,000/$1,000 grants for staff; funding to cover payroll taxes for the grant, and other staff related expenses.
