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 providers — including family child care homes, centers, and Letter of Compliance programs — serving families with annual incomes below 400% of the federal poverty level. The grant targets households that may 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.
