Grants available for preschools and preschool teachers include those that help with certification, teacher training and providing curriculum assistance. There are also grants for special education and technology.
A number of organizations have websites with information on grants, including the National Early Childhood Technical Assistance Center, and there are informational websites devoted to teachers (see Resources).
For those preschool teachers who work with special needs students, there are grants designed to help states provide special education programs and resources that will increase their skill level and help them succeed in school.
After verifying that you meet the requirements for a specific early-childhood grant, you can write the grant proposal yourself, put together a team to write the proposal or hire a professional grant writer to assist you.
When writing the grant, it is important to provide all the necessary information required by the funding source. Check all grammar and spelling before submitting your grant proposal and be sure the information is clear and succinct. Follow up in a few days to make sure the proposal was received.
