Grant Opportunities
There is a lot of work our community partners, and early childhood educators do that need funding resources to create and/or sustain programming in Idaho. Idaho AEYC acts as a conduit, connecting child care providers, early childhood education programs, and other important programming to grant opportunities.
In face of childcare crisis, collaborative group seeks solutions
In April of 2022, Building Blocks Early Learning Center owner Adrianna Green, who rents her facility on Little Avenue in Driggs, learned that the owner wanted to sell the property. She was told that the future owner would honor her lease, which expires at the end of the 2023 school year.
Building Blocks is the only licensed daycare facility in Teton County that still offers care to children under two. In the Idaho Stars Quality Rating System, it is a Step Two provider, and accepts the Idaho Child Care Program financial assistance for families who are unable to pay the full cost of childcare. The facility currently has a seven-page, multi-year waitlist of parents seeking daycare.

Idaho City Early Learning Collaborative
The Basin (Idaho City) Early Learning Collaborative is a group of stakeholders in our community from the Basin School District in Idaho City who are working with families and county government leaders to prepare our children for Kindergarten.
Through early intervention with our program, we have seen an increase in reading and literacy scores in our school aged children. Over the last 20 years, children in our community who have participated in preschool were far more likely to be in dual college credit classes and pursue post secondary educational options.
