My name is Monica3 and I am a licensed day care provider. I am a mother of 4 children. In my daycare I have 11 children. My goal is to prepare children to go to school. I believe that they are the future and I not only want to take care of children  I also want to teach and prepare them for school. I expose them now to abc's, shapes, colors, etc. However, if I know more in debt about how children learn and how I can be a tool to help them be successful in school why not learn all their is to learn about early childhood in order to be a good teacher to them.

When my children are grown up I plan to persue a career in being an Educator in the public realm.

I plan to go to school and get my Masters in early childhood however the cost is 20K. I would like to know if anyone knows where I can apply for scholarships and grants.

Grants and scholarships that I would be interested in would be:

Women

Minority

bilingual (Spanish/English)

Education (early childhood)

Day Care Providers 

Thank you for your help.
