Kansas State Grants
PERIODICALLY THE STATE OF KANSAS awards grants to daycare providers. The purpose of the grants is to promote physical activity and healthy eating. In order to obtain a grant, you must apply and meet certain criteria. The last few years I have received grants and have been awarded every one that I have applied for. These grants enable me to improve my daycare program which benefits the children in multiple ways. For example one of the grants allowed me to purchase playground equipment along with gardening supplies.
All three grants are related to physical activity: both indoor and outdoor. They also encourage the providers to teach the importance of proper nutrition. These grants have changed my program by adding additional servings of fresh fruits and vegetables and increase daily physical activity.
The ultimate goal of the grant is to provide healthy eating habits and more physical activity both at home and in childcare.
