Quality Improvement Grants Available to Child Care Providers

Child care providers in Loudoun County are encouraged to apply for a $750 grant designed to improve the quality of child care in the county.

The Loudoun County Child Care Quality Improvement Incentive Program uses $286,500 in American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funding to assist local child care providers.

Eligible providers may receive a $750 grant, which can be used to purchase equipment, help furnish or otherwise supply classrooms, provide teacher incentives or purchase specialized training. To qualify, providers must be based in Loudoun County and licensed to operate in Virginia.

Loudoun County is committed to supporting continuous quality improvement in early childhood programs of all types, improving the short and long-term outcomes for Loudoun's youngest learners. High-quality early learning and care across public and private settings provides the support children need to build a foundation for school and future success.

To assist providers in applying for the grant, the county will hold two virtual help sessions. During these support calls, providers will receive an overview of the program, including a review of requirements, the application process and incentive distribution. Attendees can join at any time during the one-hour session to ask questions.

• Wednesday, April 9, 2025, 6:00 p.m.
• Wednesday, June 4, 2025, 6:00 p.m.

Details on how to join the virtual sessions and a link to the grant application are available at loudoun.gov/ChildCareAssistance.
