The Early Childhood Council of La Plata County, as a recipient of the Colorado Infant and Toddler Quality and Availability Grant (HB 13-1291) and a grant from the EL Pomar Foundation, in partnership with the Southwest Colorado Early Childhood Collaborative, is accepting applications from child care programs (homes and centers) in Archuleta, Dolores, La Plata, Montezuma and San Juan Counties.
Expansion Grants increase child care slots for infants and toddlers by offering a one-time expansion grant to licensed programs or programs pursuing licensing to accommodate a greater number of children ages 0-36 months in the five-county region of Southwest Colorado.
Maximum amount of award is $1,500 per an infant/toddler slot, and the application deadline is July 1.
