EquiCare Grant Applications for Infant, Toddler Care Opening Soon

Montgomery County's EquiCare Grant program is opening applications for its third year, providing funding to licensed child care programs — including family child care providers, centers, and Letter of Compliance programs — that serve families with annual incomes below 400% of the federal poverty level. The grant targets families who do not qualify for the Maryland Child Care Scholarship or Working Parents Assistance programs. An informational session is scheduled for August 27, 2026 at 6 p.m., with registration required.
