2023 Early Childhood Funding RFP - Deadline Aug 16, 2023

The Community Development Division (CDD) of the City of Madison seeks to create a foundation for Madison residents to readily access high-quality early care and learning environments, for child care providers to have the training to support the physical and emotional development of young children, and for children to have access to culturally responsive providers. The City is therefore seeking proposals to provide programming and services to the early childhood care and education community and workforce, defined as early care professionals and regulated programs primarily serving children ages birth to 5 years old.

In 2023, CDD seeks to continue its commitment to increase access to high-quality early care and education programs, build staff capacity and retention for established centers, and create opportunities to provide technical assistance for parties interested in establishing new child care operations.
