That's because it is different for every state.  You have to look at your state's site.   Go to the main website for your state; then try the education department.  Search in it.  If not in education, maybe your state has a child development department or division.\nAnother way to find out in your state is to call your local Head Start.  Many Head Starts are actually a combination of state funding and federal funding and their state funding would be what you are referring to as state funded preschool.

Call your local Child Care Resource and Referral agency.  They will give you a list of licensed facilities in your area.  Also ask them if their is a website or phone number where you can get information on their past inspections.  Every parent looks for something different.  Tour each place at different times of the day and take the child with you.  You will "feel" it when you have found the right place but don't forget to look at their non compliances.  Ask the CCRR to send you a brochure on what questions to ask of the facility.  Good Luck!

I do not know of a specific website, but I am a Preschool teacher and I can give you some things to look for when you visit each centre:\n* Look at the building. Is it clean and safe? Are there heaps of resources/toys for the children to play with?\n* What is the play area outside like? Is there room for the kids to run? Is the equipment safe and well maintained?\n* Are the staff friendly and happy?\n* Do the kids currently at the centre appear happy? Are they playing well or running around causing havoc?\n* Do the teachers plan for each child individually? Do they write down observations of what the child is doing and plan activities based on the children's interests and needs?\n* Have a look at the major policies, including child protection, behaviour management, and food preparation/diets (if food provided by centre).\n* What is your gut feeling telling you? If you are not confident, it will be harder for you to trust them with your child!!\n\nGood luck

You do not have to pay for access to lists of grants such as the website given above. Simply go to the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) and Grants.gov - these are two sites created by the federal government to provide transparency and information on grants. But you'd be hard pressed to find any grant that would support a for-profit venture such as daycare.\n\nEven if you buy books on "how to get grants" or list that supposedly has information on grants -- all of them are mere rehash of what CFDA has, albeit packaged differently. But still the info is the same - hardly any grants for starting a for profit business.\n\nFrom Childcare.net:\n\n"The truth is, and it seems no one else wants to acknowledge this fact, unless you seek and obtain non-profit status, there is not a lot of help available in the way of grants for your child care business." \n\nGrants for a for-profit daycare business is a myth perpetrated by those who stands to gain the most - the sellers of lists of these grants. You may find an odd assistance or two from your local Children's and Family Services Office, but there's really not a lot. Your best bet is to check with them.\n\nMost of the federal grants are given to specific target groups with specific requirements (e.g. minority business owners involved in transportation related contracts emanating from DOT - Grant#20.905 Disadvantaged Business Enterprises Short Term Lending Program \n\nGrants are also often given to non profit groups or organizations involved in training or other similar activities (grant 59.043 Women's Business Ownership Assistance that are given to those who will create women's business center that will train women entrepreneurs \n\nFor private grants, you may want to check the Foundation Center's Foundation Grants for Individuals Online. It's a subscription based website ($*.95 per month) but their opening blurb only says that the database is ideal for "students, artists, academic researchers, libraries and financial aid offices." Entrepreneurs are apparently not one of them, so I take it they also don't have listings of private foundations who give grants to would-be entrepreneurs.

I don't know if that information is readily availble.  I would try contacting the principal of the shool that teacher currently works at.  If you really want to push it, you can file for a public release of information.

The schools themselves should be able to provide you that information. Also, there is usually a county historian or an archive at your local public library.
