There are no great grants or opportunities for providers in my area. It drives me crazy! I can get "coaching" from child care aware ND but they make you sign a contract basically saying you'll do what they tell you. No thanks. The center in my small town has been given playground equipment, and $ from the local economic development center but in-home providers aren't offered any kind of opportunities. In May the edc office was looking into opening up no interest loans to existing providers (currently only offered to new providers) but they haven't done that yet either. Sigh.... Rant over
