64 grants, totaling $13 million, to child care slots in Iowa
More than five dozen Iowa child care facilities are splitting $13 million in grants and state officials estimate 4000 more child care slots will open up as a result. The Grundy Community Preschool and Child Care Center in Grundy Center is getting a $97,500 grant.
“This money will allow us to start interior work this spring on added additional classrooms, a new commercial kitchen and laundry room,” said Melody Hoy of Eldora.
She leads the non-profit that’s worked on the project to restore a former elementary school into a “kids campus” in Grundy Center.
