Early Childhood Enhancement Grant (ECEG)

The Early Childhood Enhancement Grant (ECEG) is available to all licensed full-day and part-day child care facilities (commercial and non-profit). This grant’s funding support is intended to help promote increased salary and benefits to the child care educators that provide direct care to children attending child care facilities. This support will enhance a foundation for child care educators in recruitment and retention. A portion of this grant funding is also intended to support a facility’s general operating expenses and professional growth of child care educators.
