These days finding traditional child care in Georgia Monday through Friday, from 6:00 AM to 6:30 PM, can be challenge enough. But what about when you need non-traditional child care in the evenings, overnights, or on weekends? Through extensive engagement with families, child care providers, and other stakeholders, DECAL has learned that many families have child care needs during nontraditional hours that are not currently being met by available child care. That’s why we are offering our new EXPAND Grants….which stands for Expanding Parents’ Access to Nontraditional Delivery. Joining us to talk about the new EXPAND Grants is Dr. Bentley Ponder, Deputy Commissioner for Quality Innovations and Partnerships; Jill Taylor is Manager of Community Partnerships and Projects; Valerie Perez is Research Analyst; and Shayna Funke is Lead Policy and Business Operations Analyst.
