    Summary

    This funding is offered through the Office of Early Childhood Out of School Learning (OECOSL). The grant is a state-funded School-Age Child Care Project Fund that is available to public school corporations and non profit organizations. The purpose of this fund is to increase the availability and affordability of high-quality school-age child care and its focus is to support school-age child care programs that offer care to children who are at least five (5) years of age but less than 15 years of age for the following periods of time:

    • Before or after the school day, or both during the school year or summer school if offered
    • When school is not in session excluding summer break
    • When school is in session for students who are enrolled in a full-day or half-day kindergarten program. 

    Funding under this grant must be used to supplement the cost and improve the quality of the program in the following areas:

    • Program Enrichment - This may include the cost of developmentally appropriate activities to promote children's learning and development such as tutoring services, computer training, sports programming, performance arts, math, and science programming. The reimbursable expenses may include instructor fees (other than program staff) and consumable products used for program delivery.
    • Equipment - Funds may be used to purchase developmentally appropriate equipment for children between the ages of 5-15. A single equipment purchase reimbursement may not exceed $499. Grantees must keep an inventory including depreciation schedule on all equipment purchased with Federal or State Funds.
    • Staffing - Funds may be used to pay for school-age program staff salaries not to exceed 90% of the actual staff cost.
    • Staff Development - Funds may be used to provide the required 12 hours of in-service professional development. At least 50% of these training hours must be obtained from an outside source. Professional development must be related to providing services for children ages 5-15 and their families. Travel Expenses claimed cannot exceed $0.38 per mile and no 8 out of state travel will be reimbursed.
