low-income families where the parents are working or attending training or educational programs, as well as activities to promote overall child care quality for children, regardless of subsidy receipt.
The purpose of the Preschool Development Grant is to support early childhood services for children birth to age five. Funds support a needs assessment, strategic planning, family engagement, quality improvement, workforce compensation and supports, and direct services for young children.
The purpose of the Governor’s Emergency Relief Fund is to provide LEAs, institutions of higher education (IHEs), and other education-related entities with emergency support as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. GEER funds for an LEA are intended to support its ability to continue to provide educational services to its students and to support the ongoing functionality of the LEA.
