About this grant
With this grant, the Child Care Network, as head of the Region 6 Early Childhood Regional Childcare Coalition, will lead the Advancing Wage Sustainability for Early Educators pilot project. The pilot project is offered through the Michigan Department of Lifelong Education, Advancement and Potential. Local funds are matched 2:1 by the state in an effort to understand whether monthly stipends offered to child care workers help to improve retention and attraction to the field.
