The Office of the State Superintendent of Education (OSSE) Division of Early Learning (DEL) supports the early care and education community through grant programs that offer financial assistance and business and planning supports to child development facilities to preserve and increase the supply and quality of child care to meet the needs of DC children and families and to cultivate a high-quality child care workforce. OSSE administers these programs through intermediaries, selected through a competitive process, that provide direct support to child care providers and early educators.
