The SupportED pilot program will be conducted through June 1, 2027, at which point participating providers will be expected to provide feedback and recommendations for program enhancements as it is systematically rolled out to other programs in the Early Learning Coalition of Northwest Florida (ELCNWF) service area. While all providers are encouraged to apply, ELCNWF will first consider programs in Bay County, specifically in the 32401 and 32404 zip codes. This pilot is limited to a maximum of 7 SR and/or VPK contracted child care, faith-based, or family child care homes. If selected, your program leadership will be expected to serve on the Professional Learning Advisory Committee for the entire program year.

If interested, please provide complete, accurate, and detailed responses to the application questions. Applications will be accepted through Friday, July 31, 2026, at 5:00 PM CST. Any late or incomplete submissions will not be considered. Should you have issues with any document uploads, email the document to the Redline with the subject line "SupportED Upload" before the application deadline.
