KAPLAN EARLY LEARNING COMPANY CREDIT

CSEA is working with Kaplan Early Learning Company to provide you the opportunity to purchase Health and Safety Items, Program Supplies, and Tuition or Training for your small business at no out-of-pocket expense to you.

Once we process and approve your application, you will receive a letter of acceptance and a password for Kaplan's VOICE website. Kaplan will issue you a $500 credit. Place a phone or internet order and Kaplan will bill CSEA directly (see the Kaplan product flyer). All products listed on Kaplan's VOICE website are approved for this grant.

CSEA CHILD CARE QUALITY GRANT REIMBURSEMENT

If you prefer you may pay directly for allowable child care business expenses or education and training expenses. Once your application and original receipts are received and approved, you will receive reimbursement up to $500 for allowable expenses. Receipts must be dated between April 1, 2012 and June 30, 2013. You may only submit once for reimbursement, so it would be in your best interest to wait until you can submit as close to $500 worth of receipts as possible.
