Summary
The board approved a $4,000 Child Care Provider Grant and a $10,000 Expansion & Capacity Grant to Applicant 34 to improve an in‑home child care setting, fund materials and build a fenced outdoor play area.
The Nobles County Board approved two grants to a newly licensed in‑home family child care provider designated in the record as Applicant 34: a $4,000 Child Care Provider Grant to replace kitchen flooring and purchase age‑appropriate furniture, educational materials and a computer; and a $10,000 Expansion & Capacity Grant to purchase materials to create a secure outdoor play area (chain‑link fence), build an adjacent deck and buy equipment such as a folding wagon. The minutes state that the applicant will supply labor and requested grant funds be used for materials only.
The minutes record the actions as: "It was duly passed to Approve the $4,000 Child Care Provider Grant for Applicant 34" and "It was duly passed to Approve the $10,000 Expansion & Capacity Grant for Applicant 34." Funding is intended to enhance safety, learning spaces and administrative capacity for the newly licensed provider; county staff will record grant conditions and disbursement steps in the provider file.
