(Des Moines)– Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds has announced millions of dollars in grant funding for child care and preschool program partnerships.
The second round of the state’s Continuum of Care grant program will award five-point-two million to 19 child care and preschool partnerships across the state. The funds will allow those partnerships to expand hours of operation, hire more staff, and increase the number of children served.
The grant program’s overall goal is to boost support for working families and the state’s childcare workforce.
Locally, a partnership for childcare services involving the Spencer Community Schools and the Spencer Family YMCA will be getting $100,000.
