Governor Whitmer Delivers up to $1,000 Bonuses to Over 38,000 Childcare Professionals  

Statement

Today, Governor Gretchen Whitmer continued her commitment to support Michigan families by investing $365 million in childcare programs across the state. Nearly 6,000 childcare programs received funding through the Child Care Stabilization Grant. These funds will help keep programs open and provide $1,000 bonuses for full time staff.

"Many Michigan families rely on childcare to keep their children safe, happy, healthy, and learning while parents work or go to school. It's simple. Our economy cannot thrive without a strong childcare industry," said Governor Gretchen Whitmer. "I worked across the aisle to secure the largest investment in childcare in the state's history. This funding helps keep our childcare businesses open, makes childcare more affordable for families, and delivers bonuses to childcare professionals. All our kids deserve a great start. These grants are another investment in their future."
