Critical Operations Stipends Program
Eligible licensed child care providers facing urgent emergency, disaster, health, or safety needs may be eligible for funding to help keep your program safe and strong.
The program supports child care providers facing emergency/disaster events and health & safety needs. The goal is to provide equitable, timely, and impactful funding while ensuring fiscal responsibility.
When You Need Help, We're Ready

Zoning & Ordinances
We help providers and community leaders navigate local policies, building codes, and permitting requirements that affect child care programs.
