The Commonwealth Of Virginia State Board Of Education received a $8,000,000.00 Preschool Development Grant Birth-to-Five (PDG B-5) Renewal Award from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families. This 3-year grant, running from September 30, 2024 to September 29, 2027, will support Virginia's efforts to improve and coordinate its early childhood care and education system for children from birth to age five. The grant funding will help the Board conduct statewide needs assessments, develop strategic plans, enhance family engagement, improve program quality, and expand access to early childhood services across the state's mixed delivery system. As the prime recipient, the Board will issue sub-awards to local government entities, non-profits, universities, and other community providers to implement grant-funded initiatives that prepare low-income and disadvantaged children for kindergarten.
