New 5/4 – Update on the Minnesota Peacetime Emergency Child Care Grants
The next application round will open on May 5 and more information will be made available at that time. Applications will be available through May 12 at 5:00 p.m. Applications are evaluated based on priorities outlined in the legislation, NOT on a first-come-first-serve basis. Whether or not a child care program received a grant in Round One, they still need to complete a new application for Round Two.
