Does anyone know how to get information about this. I look forward to learning and helping on this forum.
Welcome to the forum!
Many states do offer grants for providers. A lot of those grants are specific to the state/area. A lot of grants are via the Child Care Resource and Referral agencies. I am not sure about your area but I found this link that should help you find the right place to go to find answers.
