Description
The Vermont Department for Children and Families’ Child Development Division offers Special Accommodation Grants to help licensed specialized child care programs include a child or children safely and successfully. The grant supports accommodations within the child care program where the children participate, rather than a separate service outside it.
Programs may seek support for an Inclusion Assistant, equipment, or training. For school-age children, requests may cover gaps remaining after entitled or eligible services have been provided, such as support during after-school hours and vacations.
