The Office of Child Care’s (OCC) National Center on Early Childhood Quality Assurance, in partnership with Tom Copeland, the Nation’s leading expert on the business of child care, invites you to attend a national webinar, How Family Child Care Providers Can Take Advantage of the New Small Business Administration Loan and Grant Programs, on Saturday, January 23, 2021, from 2:00 to 3:30 p.m. (Eastern Standard Time).This webinar will provide an overview of the business resources in the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2021 (CRRSA), which was enacted on December 27, 2020. CRRSA appropriates funds to help small businesses, including minority-owned businesses and nonprofit organizations, recover from the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic through the continuation of an improved version of the Payroll Protection Program (PPP) and other supports.

This webinar will provide basic information to help family child care (FCC) providers access PPP and Economic Injury Disaster Loans (EIDL). PPP provides loan opportunities for eligible small businesses, including child care businesses. EIDLs provide economic relief to businesses that are currently experiencing a temporary loss of revenue due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

In addition, providers will receive help in identifying supports that best meet their specific needs and in applying for those supports. This webinar will address child care-specific business requirements for each program and the application process. Resources will be shared.
