MetroAction is committed to improving the availability and quality of affordable child care in northeastern Pennsylvania (NEPA). In 2003, MetroAction launched its child care initiative, which consists of a loan program and a MicroGrant program.
MetroAction understands that child care providers are different from the typical entrepreneur. Because of these differences, we have modified our lending criteria for our loan program to accommodate child care providers
Our MicroGrant program has provided $10,000 in grants to more than 20 child care providers across the region.

"MetroAction’s MicroGrant has allowed us to improve our child
care so much. We are now able
to provide activities that are age appropriate and easy for the children to understand.”

The program provides $500 grants to child care providers in Carbon, Lackawanna, Luzerne, Monroe, Pike, Susquehanna, Wayne and Wyoming Counties, who have a specific project that addresses MetroAction’s funding priorities.
Grants are awarded twice each year, in May and October. For more information, contact us.
