EquiCare Grant Applications Opening for Infant, Toddler Care

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, child care centers, and Letter of Compliance programs—that serve infants and toddlers. The grant targets families with annual incomes below 400% of the federal poverty level who may not qualify for the Maryland Child Care Scholarship or Working Parents Assistance. Prospective applicants must register in the County's Central Vendor Registration System and obtain a Maryland SDAT Department ID Number ahead of the launch.
