Public Pre-K Partnership Pilot Grant Request for Applications (RFA)

Dear Champions of Education,

Maine’s Preschool Development Renewal Grant is supporting the Maine Department of Education in offering grant funding to school administrative units (SAUs) to increase the number of eligible 4-year-olds attending high-quality public Pre-Kindergarten (Pre-K) programming through partnerships with licensed community providers (center-based and family child care) during the 24-25 school year.

In order to realize its goal of achieving universal access for students to public Pre-K, the State is supporting SAUs in increasing the number of partnerships with licensed community-based providers (e.g., center based and family child care) to ensure equitable access to high-quality early care and education, especially for our most vulnerable children.  

Partnerships with licensed community-based providers support SAUs to achieve full-day/full-week programming for children and to meet the needs of working families while increasing their offering of Public Pre-K.

The Public Pre-K Partnership Pilot Grant RFA <https://maine.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=a582edd6473e477ef6307c769&id=4c0aff4913&e=d89fcd9d0f> will provide funding to support new partnerships with either a licensed center based provider or a licensed family child care provider.

The timeline for the RFA process is as follows:

  *   March 22, 2024-RFA Released
  *   April 8, 2024—Question Submission Deadline
  *   April 25, 2024- RFA Submission Deadline
