About the Early Years COVID-19 Relief Fund

In light of the pandemic, Early Years created the Early Years COVID-19 Relief Fund for child care programs. Early Years has always played a role in helping child care programs provide the highest quality early learning experience for our state’s youngest children. Now that programs are struggling to meet the needs of our workforce, Early Years will be a lifeline for programs to get the tools and resources they need during this challenging time. More information about the relief fund, including how you can help, can be found here.
