(AP) – A program of the Vermont Community Foundation is offering scholarships to help preschool age children attend a child care center.
The Community Foundation has been providing qualified child care centers with scholarships for underserved families since 1990 with funding from the O.P. Edwards Foundation.
The Edwards Foundation intends for the scholarships to benefit preschoolers who seem to be getting “lost in the cracks” when other subsidies are not enough or the child falls just outside of federal or state program eligibility.
Any nonprofit child care center in Vermont that serves children from economically stressed families is eligible to apply for grants up to $2,000.
The deadline is May 1.
