What has Stabilization Grant funding meant for you and your program?  

Stabilization Grants have been a lifeline for child care. This important funding has helped programs hire and retain staff, pay bills, reach more families, and be used toward making improvements to program quality. But this funding is temporary and will expire later this year.  

We’re seeking to hear perspectives from more child care providers in every state. Can you submit a short video?  Sharing your story can help leaders and policymakers hear about the challenges child care continues to face and the difference that additional funding can make for programs and families nationwide. For more ideas, listen to what other providers have said. 

Follow the prompts below as starting points to record a short video reflecting on what this funding has meant for your program. Feel free to share beyond what’s listed as examples!
