Nebraska child care homes and centers, new or licensed, can get up to $5,000 (homes) or $10,000 (centers) to start up or expand, up to $2,000 for inspection-required fixes, or $500 for quality improvement. Applications are reviewed monthly.
DHHS uses federal Child Care and Development Block Grant funds for three grants to Nebraska child care homes and centers. Start-Up and Expansion grants help new providers meet licensing requirements or help existing providers add capacity, up to $5,000 for homes and $10,000 for centers. Emergency Mini Grants of up to $1,000 or $2,000 cover inspection-required items, and Quality Improvement grants of up to $500 cover program or curriculum quality. Applications are accepted every month and must be postmarked by the first of the month.
Start-Up and Expansion: a new, not-yet-licensed Child Care Home or Child Care Center making minor building modifications, or an existing provider expanding capacity or license type
Emergency Mini Grant: a currently licensed Child Care Home or Child Care Center (or one in the licensing process that has had its initial inspections), in good standing and with current Child Care Subsidy enrollment; items must be required by Licensing, Fire Marshal or Health inspections
Quality Improvement: a currently licensed Child Care Home or Child Care Center with a Provisional or Operating license, in good standing and with current Child Care Subsidy enrollment
Programs may apply for only one of the three grants, and a funded program cannot apply again for three years
