REETAIN

The REETAIN (Retaining Early Educators Through Attaining Incentives Now) Grant Program works to increase the quality of child care in our state by reducing staff turnover and rewarding high education levels among child care professionals. Recognizing a demonstrated connection between well-educated child care professionals and school-readiness in the children they care for, the REETAIN program focused on supplying grants to supplement the income and/or enhance the program of qualified early childhood professionals. By applauding and supporting excellence in the field of early childhood and school age care the program works to help Minnesota 's children thrive.

Annually REETAIN conducts one winter round (December 1 - January 31, accepting applications from center-based child care providers) and one summer round (June 1 - July 31, accepting applications for family child care providers.)
