Updated May 7, 2021, Delaware Early Education and Child Care Stabilization Fund
 
Dear Early Learning Provider,
 
Thank you for your many questions.  Please know that we are collecting each of the questions submitted and will try to respond to many of the topics you raised next week during the provider call.  In addition, we will send an updated FAQ next Friday, May 14.  
 
In addition, we are pleased to announce that DHSS and DOE will be partnering with the Delaware Institute for Excellence in Early Childhood (DIEEC). DIECC will be responsible for managing the Stabilization Fund Grants and will be responsible for implementing this important initiative.  
 
In the meantime, please join us for the next Provider Call scheduled on May 12th from 1-2:30 pm. This call will focus on the Stabilization Grant program and provide additional information on the supports available to providers. Supports to be discussed will include videos on the application process, technical assistance in applying for the grant and future calls for both family child care and center providers.
 
We recognize that this grant program is different from the enhanced reimbursement program in many ways. On the call, we will be discussing the differences in the programs structure, funding, and requirements. It is our goal that providers will understand the new grant program and be better prepared to complete an application afterwards.
 
The link and call information is below for your convenience . If you have any questions, please email the Stabilization mailbox at DHSS_DSS_StabilizationGrants@delaware.gov
 
Thank you,
Department of Education
