The City of Bloomington awarded $75,000 to four child care programs, this month. As WFHB Correspondent Annie Aguiar reports, the funding is part of an effort to improve early childhood education in the area.
The money is part of a $100,000 allocation from the city. City of Bloomington Communications Director Yael Ksander said the grants were planned with Bloomington at large in mind.
Applicants for the grants requested over $300,000 in city funds, more than four times what was awarded.
