Here are some key facts and statistics that highlight the current state of funding for early childhood education.[/fusion_text][fusion_checklist type=”icons” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” circlecolor=”#0a875a”][fusion_li_item]
Only 11% of income-eligible families receive funding from Head Start. In addition, only 4.7% of federally eligible infants and toddlers receive preschool grant funding through the Child Care and Development Fund.
[/fusion_li_item][fusion_li_item]
Funds from the CCDF must be used to improve the quality of childcare and provide additional services to parents, including resource and referral counseling. As part of the 2014 law, States are required to spend more on quality activities and enhance the quality of infant and toddler care.
[/fusion_li_item][fusion_li_item]
The American Rescue Plan has played a key role in stabilizing the childcare industry. Recent CEA research has highlighted how the Biden-Harris Administration has improved workers’ economic prospects and allowed individuals with caregiving responsibilities to participate in the labor market more equally.
[/fusion_li_item][fusion_li_item]
As part of the American Rescue Plan 2021, $24 billion was allocated to more than 220,000 childcare programs, and 9.6 million children received care.

Each grant has specific requirements and criteria you must meet to be considered. Pay attention to the eligibility criteria, the funding priorities, and any specific information the grantor is looking for. Understanding these details will help you tailor your proposal to align with the grantor’s expectations.[/fusion_text][fusion_checklist type=”icons” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” circlecolor=”#0a875a”][fusion_li_item]
Eligibility: Ensure your preschool meets the basic eligibility criteria. It’s essential to verify that your organization falls within the scope defined by the grantor. Missing this crucial step can lead to wasted efforts.
