SUPPORT AND REFERRAL PROCESS

The Seed Fund guides licensed child care center providers through various stages of development and meets with them as needed to provide expertise and problem solve. Seed Fund staff also work with these providers to identify sources of additional funding if it is needed and will make appropriate referrals for other services.

As the child care providers complete their facility planning and construction, the Seed Fund will continue to stay in touch and offer support. Once the new center is open, the Seed Fund can link it to ongoing support services such as child care resource and referral agencies, business assistance providers and legal assistance providers.

Applications are accepted year round.
