PROVIDENCE – A new grant program was launched Tuesday to help child care providers upgrade and improve their centers.
The Providence Early Learning Infrastructure Support program offers $1.9 million in funding to home and center-based child care providers to pay for renovations and capital improvement projects to their spaces, or upgrades tied to health and safety or licensing requirements, according to a press release from the city. The two-year program is being funded through $1.5 million of the city’s federal stimulus dollars, with the remainder coming from the city’s fiscal 2023 budget.
