Child Care Stabilization Grants

The WY Child Care Stabilization Access and Expansion Grant (Wave 2) is a funding opportunity
focused on four priority areas in which child care providers may invest and sustain.

  • Building and supporting depleted staffing levels
  • Supporting physical space expansion through minor renovations
  • Expansion of care for children experiencing the most challenges in access to care (e.g., infants and toddlers, high needs children, etc.)
  • Exploring or establishing transportation options for providers or families of children in care

The Wave 2 grant application includes questions for child care providers to describe local child
care service needs, explain how they will respond to those needs if awarded grant funding, and
detail their sustainability plan. The application will take 20 to 45 minutes to complete.

The grant application is open to receive responses July 7, 2022 through September 4, 2022 at
11:59 pm.

partnership with WY DFS. Grant funding awards will be held, and not be released, until the
