INCENTIVE$ Florida, administered by the Children’s Forum, awards annual stipends of up to $5,000 to early learning educators, family child care home providers, and directors in participating counties, for their higher education achievements and commitment to their programs. This program works alongside other local quality initiatives to help increase the education, compensation, and stability of our state’s early learning workforce. INCENTIVE$ also helps foster stronger relationships with and positive outcomes for young children enrolled in participating early learning programs.
INCENTIVE$ is a locally funded early learning initiative that works to increase access to high-quality child care for families, as well as ensure that Florida’s early learning workforce is fairly compensated and well-supported, like the TEACH Early Childhood® Scholarship Program. Please visit the INCENTIVE$ website to learn more. Eligible TEACH scholars can use their existing CF Portal Account to apply today!
