Discover grants for preschools, kindergarten, and Pre-K programs. Funding is also available for childcare centers, daycare programs, and family care providers. These grants support early childhood education, child development, curriculum enrichment, and school readiness.
Early childhood funders often prioritize different things - some focus on curriculum and school readiness, others on facility improvements or family support services - so filtering by recipient type and funding source above helps match your program to the right fit. GrantWatch helps organizations manage the entire funding process, from grant prospecting to post-award reporting, with tools such as the Grant Prospecting Dashboard, Grant Funding Pipeline, GrantWatch Intelligence™, and the AI Grant Writing Tool - built for early-childhood funders and application deadlines.
