We can help you apply for this grant on April 27th’s TA! 

Grants to be covered:

• Another PPP Grant

The following dates are available to register for:

New information has been provided from DESE Office of Childhood. Starting up a SOF child care program does not qualify for start-up grant funds. If a child care program applies for Expansion they are also eligible for Enhancement. The enhancement grant is at the original capacity.

We hope this new information helps clarify for you what grants you are eligible for.

NOTICE:

Child Care Aware® of Missouri does not administer the grants. Thus, if you have already applied, we do not have access to or the status of your application as our organization does not decide these matters. DESE Office of Childhood administers and awards the grants.

If you have questions about your submitted application, please reach out to ChildCareRelief@dese.mo.gov and provide your program information, including your DVN, and which grants you applied for.
