Early Childhood Block Grant Program Profiles

Kansas Early Childhood Block Grant

New money earmarked for early childhood programs will be directed toward an Early Childhood Block Grant (ECBG), administered by the Children’s Cabinet.   Block grant funds can be grants to school districts, child care centers and homes, Early Head Start sites, Head Start sites, and community-based programs that provide research-based child development services for at-risk infants, toddlers and their families, and preschool for three- and four-year-olds. The grant process will be driven by accountability measures and research-based programming, as well as a focus on at-risk children and under-served areas. At least thirty (30) percent of all block grant funds will be set aside for infant and toddler programs. The Children’s Cabinet will work to leverage block grant funds to draw down private donations and foundation grants. The Children’s Cabinet was chosen to administer the block grant program due to their recent efforts and achievements in emphasizing accountability and outcomes in all programs funded with CIF dollars.
