Discover grants for preschools, kindergarten, and Pre-K programs. Funding is also available for childcare centers, daycare programs, and family care providers. These grants support early childhood education, child development, curriculum enrichment, and school readiness.
Early childhood funders often prioritize different things - some focus on curriculum and school readiness, others on facility improvements or family support services - so filtering by recipient type and funding source above helps match your program to the right fit. Use GrantWatch's Grant Prospecting Dashboard to track application deadlines across multiple early-childhood funders, and GrantWatch Intelligence™ to identify funders with a track record in early childhood education specifically.
