HEALTH AND SAFETY GRANTS FOR FAMILY, GROUP FAMILY AND LEGALLY EXEMPT CHILD CARE PROVIDERS...

The Health and Safety/Start-Up Grant Program administered by the Resource Network can be one of the building blocks of a successful family child care business! 

Through a grant from the Office of Children and Family Services (OCFS),  the Resource Network is able to offer Health and Safety grants to new and existing family, group family and legally exempt child care providers.   The Health and Safety Grant Program is designed to assist legally exempt, family and group family providers in setting up their businesses and ensuring a safe, inviting and healthy environment for the children enrolled.  Many of the eligible items are provided free of charge.  Requirements for participation have changed.
