Joint Resource Guide to Strengthen and Expand Child Care Facilities in Rural Communities (USDA)

The purpose of this guide is to provide useful information to help stakeholders in rural communities – including Tribes and Tribal organizations – address the need for improved access to affordable, high-quality child care and early learning facilities. This guide provides resources and funding opportunities available to help address child care needs in America’s rural communities. These programs support child care and early learning facilities, equipment and furnishings, and also offer capacity building technical assistance. Each program description indicates whether the program supports center-based and / or home-based early care.
