NYS Providers- Second CSEA Grant?

[daycarediva]

Just got approved for mine! It is Kaplan credit only this time though (stinky). I got reimbursed in under 30 days for the last credit and was able to buy SOOO much more.

Already? I haven't received any notices this time.

I love Kaplan!! A lot of my NHI 18 wheeler of stuff that came last week was Kaplan. The rest was little tykes, fisher price, lakeshore learning etc.

Once I finish a few more parts of my CDA stuff for my wrist lady, I'll get another shipment

I LOVE KAPLAN!!

I received a phone call from the CSEA rep last week and then I got my letter in the mail yesterday. I am really, really struggling with what to buy. I am thinking a big new circle time carpet and new couch (we have 2 that seat 2, I have 6 littles)

spent the entire naptime looking around kaplans website and STILL undecided.

Nice problem to have, though!!

I actually got my letter yesterday after I was closed. happyface

I just got rid of a ton of toys, and am feeling like I don't need more of those. Not sure what I should get.

I LOVE these grants!!!happyface
The older dc kids and I shop together . They don't make all the choices but do get to pick some things-
We have gotten so many toys that would have been hard for me to do on my own. The last time we purchased a sand box.
Ill have to check my mail today!

I got my application in the mail yesterday, but am hesitant to apply this time around because I currently have no dc kids! And, have had no calls for fall either! Not even sure I could get approved without having any current kids. I am bummed I will miss out this time around, but it is probably for the best since I will have to find another job if the calls don't come in soon!

Ugh! Sorry to hear that!! . Hope the calls start quickly!!!

[daycarediva]

I hope you get calls soon slorey!

I had my big dckids help and we picked out a few new toys, some duplicates of favorites, circle time carpet, new couch and new dramatic play items.

Next year I REALLY want a light table and a ton of things to go with it. Maybe they will do 2 next year and we can get that AND new shelves. ::

I got mine yesterday....I got a laptop, as I don't need any more toys. LOL

I heard this was the end of the grants though...so no more next year.

Really? My csea rep didn't mention that!

Sorry Sereetta!

[Familycare71]

I am waiting my two hours!
Who did you hear it was the last year for the grant from?

[Leanna]

Just got approved! I am scoping the Kaplan site while I wait my two hours. We desperately need a new child sized table and chairs and beyond that I am getting things to add to what we already love (i.e. more tree blocks, lego accessories, and stocking up on art supplies). I really hope this isn't the last grant!

[DaycareMama]

I have such a hard time shopping KAPLAN even with a grant. Everything is so overpriced and most of the toys are so easily breakable or a chocking hazard.

I was thinking about getting a desk top but im not sure I understand the "rules" behind it?

I am really struggling with what to get. We could use so many things but the quality and prices make it hard
