Best Starts’ Capital Program Upcoming Open Houses: RSVP today!

Published September 30, 2024

Join us for a presentation on the Best Starts Capital Program to learn more about upcoming funding opportunities. We will discuss our Priority 3 funding round, which will be released November 2024. Priority 3 funding will expand child care and early learning facilities to increase capacity for multipurpose uses, and complement the Early Learning Facilities funding under the PSTAA Implementation Plan to increase capacity for multipurpose uses. The capital grant funds awarded under Priority 3 are expected not to exceed $1 million for any single facility over the life of the levy. 

Join us for our open houses to meet the manager of our Best Starts Capital Program, learn more about the investment area, understand Priority 3 funding, and get insights into the application process. This is also a great chance to ask any questions you may have!
