Provider Stabilization Grant applications will be available to all Licensed and Registered Programs in October 2021!
These grants are intended to help Child Care Providers maintain, or resume, services and will fund operating expenses. A virtual Town Hall will be held on October 7th at 6:00 pm to introduce these grants and to provide information about COVID relief funding. A follow-up Town Hall will be held on October 13th at 6:00 pm to go over the grant application and answer specific questions.
childcare.mt.gov: Find the grant application form HERE! Plus, additional information, how to prepare, and guidance documents. The web address will be shared during the Town Halls and through your Child Care Resource and Referral Agency when it’s ready. Applications will be open until July 30, 2022. You are encouraged to attend both Town Hall calls if possible. Watch for more information to connect to the Town Hall.
Early Childhood Mental Health: In the Child Care Stabilization Grant application, providers will have an opportunity to opt into Mental Health Consultation, and we encourage you to check yes! Young children’s social and emotional development is critical to positive long-term success. Get the flyer HERE.
