Child Care Centers Receive Funding Through Government Grant Programs

Children are amazing! Did you know you can teach sign language to a baby as early as 5-6 months? Did you know that 75% of brain development occurs from birth to age 6? New discoveries are being made every day about the amazing human brain, and what it is capable of. Studies have shown that a child’s intelligence grows when it is stimulated by a healthy environment, especially in the early years.
Because of the need for additional income, more families are using outside child care facilities. Sadly, cost is a huge factor in the choice of day care facilities, and many child care centers around the United States do not have the funding and/or education that is needed to provide the type of stimulating environment that is essential for our children’s intellectual needs.
Our children are the future of our planet. Doesn’t it make sense to create an environment to nurture and teach them? Where they can be empowered to develop critical thinking and problem solving skills? Shouldn’t our children be taught the importance of life-long learning and the quest for more knowledge? Sure, they are taught in elementary school, but critical learning must start much earlier than that.
For many years, our government has taken a major role in providing funding for education. They are also realizing that what affects our children right now will affect the future of our nation. New government grant programs are becoming available not only for education, but also for funding childcare centers so that can provide educational programs to enhance early child development. A good portion of our state tax money goes to fund education of our children, but there is a lot of federal grant money set aside for these programs.
http://www.GrantGenerator.com has a list of the different grant programs available in a variety of different categories-from educational and non-profit organizations to grant money to start a small business, as well as programs created specifically for child care. These grants can be used for training of staff, purchasing equipment, technology, supplies and food, etc. Child care centers that might not be able to afford to get training or materials now have the ability to qualify for government funding that does not have to be paid back! As a side note, there are also government grant programs to help families pay for child care as well.
If parents must work outside the home, they should have a safe, healthy, stimulating environment in which their children can learn and grow. The federal government and other private organizations are helping by providing the grants. The rest is up to the child care centers themselves to find and apply for those benefits. Finding the right program can be tedious and time consuming unless you have software to help you. This website has some valuable tools and information. If you know of a center that could use the financial aid, have them go to http://www.GrantGenerator.com to find the funding they need.
By investing into our children now, we are investing in our nation’s future!
