Additionally, this funding builds resilience–not only among this industry charged with caring for the youngest in our community–but for the economy as a whole.”
“Typhoon Mawar was the first major disaster our island experienced in over two decades, and the National Weather Service tells us it won’t be the last. While we are still in recovery, we must stay ready to respond,” said Lt. Governor Joshua Tenorio. “ We encourage CCDF-certified childcare providers to apply and make the investments in their facilities today. Grants may be used for the purchase of generators, water tanks, and window and door shutters. Beyond hardening our facilities, this funding also provides for mental health support for our children and providers and training and professional development related to health and safety.”
All eligible grantees will also receive $1,500 per subsidized child enrolled in their care prior to June 2023. Grants are 100% federally funded by the Child Care & Development Fund (CCDF) through the DPHSS Bureau of Child Care Services.
