Schenectady Community Action Program Receives Federal Aid for Early Childhood Education
The Schenectady Community Action Program (SCAP) has been awarded the final installment of a grant that was initially given in 2019. This federal grant, totaling $1,596,847, will be used to support local childcare centers and programs in providing high-quality care for infants and toddlers from low-income families.
Investing in Early Childhood Education for Lifelong Learning
Congressman Tonko, a strong advocate for early childhood education, emphasized the importance of this funding. He stated, “Early childhood education is an essential element of every child’s foundation for lifelong learning.” Congressman Tonko recognizes the potential of early learning programs in creating a positive environment for young children. This investment will ensure that every child and family supported by SCAP will have access to the necessary resources and assistance to thrive.
Supporting the Whole Family: SCAP’s Campus Project
In addition to the grant for early childhood education, Congressman Tonko has secured $1,500,000 through the Fiscal Year 2023 Community Project Funding process for SCAP’s Campus Project. This project aims to establish a whole-family campus that offers comprehensive support for low-income residents of Schenectady County.
