Financial assitance in starting a daycare

[ladymarshall]

This is all new to me I am interested in starting a daycare and am interested in knowing if anyone can assist me on finding grants or funding for starting a daycare instead of draining my savings account

I believe each state differs in regards to grants or funding. Which state do you live in?

DSS funds contracts with child care resource and referral agencies which perform a variety of services for the families and child care providers in this state. Resource and referral agencies educate parents on how to recognize good child care and refer them to child care facilities operating near their home or workplace. They also help to build the child care supply by encouraging providers to enter the child care market or to expand their operations. Resource and Referral also offers technical assistance to child care providers to help them meet licensing or registration requirements and improve the quality of the care the children receive. A list of Resource and Referral Agencies follows.

Where did you find that info? I've been looking for GA. Also, does anyone know anything about women owned business grants?

Hello. I am new to the forum. I am wondering if anyone has any information on grants or funding for family day cares in New York?

Also the grants programs on the internet do you know if they a real or just scams to get your money?
Thank you very much

Where could I look to get grants for the set up of my in home preschool center. I intend to allow all children including those with special needs ( as I have an autistic daughter who I could not find any care for outside of the public school system) I want to give parents with special needs children the relief that there is a place to enroll their children.
thanks,
