School Readiness Grant Opportunity

Last posted by Jeffrey Ferreira

LOCAL REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL

The Windsor Locks Public Schools and its School Readiness Council have opened up a local RFP to identify new or continuing eligible local early care and education providers, which shall provide school readiness and child day care services to eligible children and their families.

In its review of these applications, the School Readiness Council must ensure that any proposals address all the statutory requirements specifying how the program will meet these requirements and only submit those proposals that are complete and in compliance with such requirements.

The Office of Early Childhood has also established a program, within available appropriations, to provide on a competitive basis supplement quality enhancement grants to providers of child day care services or providers of school readiness programs pursuant to C.G.S. Sections 10-16p and 10-16u to enhance the quality of early childhood education programs. Child day care providers, school readiness programs in priority school districts, and competitive school readiness municipalities may apply for a quality enhancement grant. These applicants must use their local School Readiness Council to review and recommend projects for funding.

The purpose of the Quality Enhancement funding is to assist early care and education programs in addressing quality standards and/or expand comprehensive services for children and families.

If you are interested in applying for funds to increase the number of children you serve in your school readiness program, please contact Jeffrey Ferreira, Principal, North Street School, 325 North Street, Windsor Locks, CT 06096 for additional information regarding allotted funds, application process and CT SDE guidelines for proposals. Deadline for the grant application is April 30,2017.
