[Grant] Next Steps Grant Programs that reach their goals and get the required end score after participating in the Baby Steps Grant successfully for two years are eligible to apply for the Next Steps Grant. This grant provides additional funding to allow the center to continue on a quality improvement path in their Infant/Toddler Rooms. If the program is awarded a grant, they receive funds as described in the Baby Steps Grant but there are a few additional requirements. There is more emphasis placed on using funds to retain staff or increase continuity of care for the children. There is also a required component for involving, strengthening, and supporting families. Programs can participate for a maximum of two years in this grant and if they complete all contract requirements, they may be eligible to enroll non-competitively for the final step in the process, the Two Year Old Grant. [Eligible Applicants] Licensed Centers that care for children 0-24 months. [Open/Closed]
