CHILD CARE FACILITIES FUND (CCFF)
SAN FRANCISCO
FAMILY CHILD CARE GRANTS

The San Francisco Child Care Facilities Fund makes four distinct child care facilities-related grants available to family child care providers within the City of San Francisco. (For information on center-based child care grants, please go to the Center-Based Child Care Grants page.)

GRANTS FOR FAMILY CHILD CARE
Expansion Grants

The Expansion Grant supports licensed family child care providers seeking to expand from a small family child care business (serving 6-8 children) to a large one (serving 12-14). Funds can be used for facility improvements, construction and renovation associated with licensing and fire code requirements for a large family child care facility and the purchase of materials and equipment. A provider is eligible to apply after successful completion of CDEV41E: How to Expand Your Family Child Care Business, a 16-hour, 1-unit course offered at City College of San Francisco, or after attending an Expansion workshop offered by CCFF.  Grants of up to $15,000 are available per facility.
