Preschool Development Grant

PDG's Impact on Quality Childcare

Nebraska’s early childhood programs have taken another significant step forward with the renewal of the National Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families Preschool Development Grant.  Building on the success of 2019’s Preschool Development Planning Grant, which supported a comprehensive needs assessment and allowed for the creation of a statewide strategic plan, the $8.9M-per-year Preschool Development Grant Birth-Five (PDG) Renewal Grant will span three years to implement Nebraska’s Early Childhood Strategic Plan.

The Preschool Development Grant (PDG) provides Nebraska the opportunity to continue building strong community leadership, creating innovations in infant-toddler services, and collaborating through private/public partnerships to continue improving access to quality early childhood care and education (ECCE) for families of children from birth through 5 years.
