Fall 2026 Early Childhood Education Grant

Letter of inquiry due Jun 18, 2027

Fall 2026 Early Childhood Education Funding Cycle

Overall Early Childhood Education Program Blueprint

The Stranahan Foundation’s Early Childhood Education grant program supports efforts to improve access to high-quality early care and education for young children (birth to five), especially those from low-income families. We do this by investing in strategies that strengthen, support, and retain a high-quality, thriving early educator workforce.

The Foundation has a history of supporting professional development (PD) and learning systems through its Provider strategy (). We believe strong professional development systems are essential for building a skilled early childhood workforce and creating positive learning environments for young children.

The Fall 2026 funding cycle is available for organizations that align with this Provider strategy.

Funding Opportunity

This funding opportunity will provide up to $750,000 to support early childhood education providers in strengthening existing professional development (PD) systems. Funding is intended to improve a specific area of an established PD system—not to build a brand-new system from scratch or put the foundational elements in place.

What kind of improvements can funding support?

Organizations should focus their projects on strengthening their professional development systems. The Stranahan Foundation defines a strong professional development system as one that includes:

  • Connect learning opportunities that build on one another over time.
  • Use adult learning best practices.
  • Align staff learning to educator competencies, credentials, career growth, or compensation.
  • Provide learning experiences that are individualized, scaffolded, and responsive to educators’ needs, experience, and goals.
  • Have dedicated leadership and organizational capacity to support ongoing implementation.

  • Gather regular feedback from staff and families.
  • Use standardized assessment and evaluation tools to understand what is working and where improvements are needed.
  • Make ongoing improvements based on what is learned.
  • Support reflective practice, peer learning, and collaborative inquiry among educators.

  • Offer both individual and group learning opportunities, such as training, professional learning communities, coaching, and mentoring.
  • Provide learning opportunities on an ongoing basis rather than in a one-and-done situation.
  • Connect internal and external learning opportunities to make the best use of available resources.
  • Support classroom implementation through observation, modeling, feedback, and continuous improvement cycles.

  • Provide learning experiences that are practical, relevant, and easy to apply in daily work.
  • Include fundamental topics such as family engagement, effective instruction, developmentally appropriate practice, and classroom management.
  • Align with established standards, research, and effective practices in the early childhood field.
  • Equip educators to support all learners, including multilingual learners, children with disabilities, and children impacted by trauma or adverse experiences.
