[Lorraine Kinney-Kitchen]

Here is a grant opportunity for centers.  A couple of years ago, a teacher
from Children's Corner in Rome won this, so it is "doable"!

The Terri Lynne Lokoff Child Care Foundation's National Child Care Teacher
Awards; co-sponsored by Tylenol. 
.       Applicants are asked to design an enhancement project for the
children in their classroom, illustrating its educational, social, and
emotional benefits. 
.       Award recipients will receive a $1,000 grant, $500 of which will be
used to implement the proposed project. The top 10 qualifiers become
finalists for National Child Care Teacher of the Year. The top scorer
receives an additional $1,000. 
.       More information is available on the foundation's Web site. 
.       Who may apply: teachers of infants, toddlers, or preschool children
located in the United States or on U.S. military bases around the world.
Applicants may work at for-profit, nonprofit, or religiously affiliated
programs, and must be employed full time in a home, group, or center-based
program that is fully compliant with local and state regulations.
