The Early Learning Coalition has new local funding opportunities for residents of Lee and Collier counties under the School Readiness MATCH Program. 

If your household was previously determined to be over income, this would be the time to reapply.  The School Readiness MATCH Program has higher income limits and allows households that fall under the 200% of the Federal Poverty Level to qualify for the School Readiness Program. Parents must meet the new income guidelines and be working, in school or have a disability to qualify. Our staff can assist you with the application and provide you with information you need to make an informed choice of early learning program and to find a quality childcare provider.
