Newly received federal funding is available to assist residents of Warren County and Saratoga County who would like to open home-based childcare businesses.<\/p>\n
A bi-county task force of public and private partners has obtained $205,000 in federal grant funding, which can be used for New York state-required trainings, fees, and materials\u2014including technological needs\u2014to start a new home-based child care business.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The successful grant application stemmed from a survey performed by an informal child care coalition comprised of members from both Warren and Saratoga counties in 2020-21, as the COVID-19 pandemic affected the availability of child care, significantly impacting the local workforce.<\/p>\n Liza Ochsendorf, Warren County Workforce Development director, said \u201cWe are excited to support new child care providers with opening their own businesses. This is a great opportunity for informal child care providers to be trained for free and to upgrade their services to become a licensed business. This funding may also appeal to stay-at-home parents, educators, or anyone looking for a career change who has a passion for helping children.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong>Southern Adirondack Child Care Network in Warren County and Brightside Up, a Capital District child care resource agency, will facilitate the required trainings in Warren and Saratoga counties, respectively.<\/p>\n Warren County residents who are interested in applying for funding can call Warren County Career Center at 518-743-0925 or Southern Adirondack Child Care Network at 518-798-7972.<\/p>\n Saratoga County residents who would like to apply can call Saratoga County Career Center at 518-884-4170 or Brightside Up at 518-426-7181.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Newly received federal funding is available to assist residents of Warren County and Saratoga County who would like to open home-based childcare businesses.
