BHN Awarded Early Education and Out-of-School Time (EEOST) Capital Improvement Grant

August 11, 2022

We are pleased to announce that BHN was awarded a $250,000 Early Education and Out-of-School Time (EEOST) capital improvement grant by the Baker-Polito Administration. Funding will be used to improve safety features, accessibility, and functionality at BHN's Kidstop Children’s Center in Ware. Planned projects include improvements to the playground, indoor spaces and parking lot, replacement of the HVAC system, and installation of a new security system.


The grant is part of $3.9 million that was awarded to 17 community-based organizations to ensure children have safe and developmentally appropriate spaces to learn and play. Approximately 80 percent of the children in EEOST-funded programs are from low-income families. We are grateful for this funding that will benefit the many children and families we serve!
