Local education authorities, the state Office of Education, and the Office of Child Care have received hundreds of millions of dollars that can and should be spent to invest in what is best for Utah’s children.
We must work together to put these investment dollars to use with creative, community-supported solutions that help all Utah families with young children.
Let’s rise to the occasion and build quality early care and education plans and programs that work best for Utah kids!
NOW IS THE TIME TO MAKE BOLD PLANS IN YOUR COMMUNITY!
Here are some ways that American Rescue Plan funding can be used in your community to support early childhood care and education:
- Free summer enrichment programs for families in need of academic support as well as child care!
- Expanded full-day kindergarten opportunities to ensure all kids in your community can get caught up and start first grade on par with their peers!
- On-line and in-person home visiting support for families with young children who want and need extra guidance regarding child development, safety and nutrition, and family financial stability.
