Programs must be person-centered and operate in coordination with early education services. Eligible facilities must have qualified staff and equipment, demonstrate alignment with the National Standards for Systems of Care for Children and Youth with Special Health Care Needs, and show partnerships with hospitals and medical facilities for medical care as well as with school systems and local agencies for referral and consultation services. Priority is given to programs enrolling children from low-income families receiving child care subsidies through the MSDE Child Care Scholarship Program. MSDE reserves the right to renew the grant for two additional funding years through June 30, 2030, contingent on available funds, compliance, and state budget approval.
