PDG Birth through Five ## Child Care Small Business and Economic Development Integration Grant * What will happen to this grant if there are funds available to extend into FY27 AND the grantee does not win an SBSH award for FY27? MiLEAP should have an idea if additional funds will be available to continue this grant before the grant expires.

If the grantee is no longer an SBSH, the grantee would be able to continue its work if desired and an appropriate scope of work and budget will be negotiated for FY27. * If we hire someone, will their salary come out of the administrative fee? The grant allows charging for salary and fringe benefits so the 15% admin that is allowed would not have to cover FTE salary/fringe.

* Can funds be used to give grants to child care businesses and/or families for child care? No, the funds are not intended to be used to cover the business costs of child care businesses or subsidize family child care expenses.

Rather, the funds could be used to cover costs for child care businesses to participate in trainings, meetings, convenings, etc. * What will be the key KPIs and stakeholders for measurements for success of this program?

Specific data collection and reporting will be negotiated in the grant agreement, but specific measurable outcomes include: **Coordination & Alignment** * EDO participation with Regional Child Care Coalitions – are all the (current) SBSHs participating with or systemically connected to their RCCC? * Are all the (current) SBSHs systemically connected to their region’s FCCN? * Are SBDCs connected to the efforts of this grant?

Other EDO/Small Business Supports? * Once approved, have all tools/resources created through this grant been shared across all SBSHs? Other Items that are less measurable as outcomes but will be subject to reporting include: * Activities undertaken to map out targets for coordination & collaboration – who has been included in the efforts of this grant?

* What specific activities have been undertaken to employ the tools and resources developed with this grant? * How many early childhood small businesses have been reached through this effort (at the end of the grant year)? * What presentations, trainings, outreach activities, dissemination activities, etc. have been completed?

* How many small businesses across the state have received information about supporting child care for their employees? * Others as proposed and agreed upon MiLEAP does not expect this to be a heavily metrics-driven grant; because this is about alignment & coordination, much will be qualitatively reported. * This is a short-term grant program.

Is there a long-term opportunity to have this be an ongoing program with MiLEAP? At this time, the funding for this grant could extend through FY27 but MiLEAP has not identified specific funding to continue to support these efforts.

The hope is that these outcomes will create lasting coordination and alignment between the entities involved, further bolstering the work of the RCCCs and at least supplying the EDO and Small Business entities with tools and resources they can use to help build up the need for supporting child care. * [](https://www. facebook.
