The Surprise City Council voted to renew a grant agreement to allow the Human Service and Community Vitality Department to continue providing early childhood programming.
The council on May 20 approved a renewal amendment with First Things First, a statewide organization that funds early education and health programs to children up to 5 years old.
By accepting another $250,000 from the Arizona Early Childhood Development and Health Board, which oversees First Things First, the city plans to continue its Family Resource Center Early Childhood Development Program at the Surprise Resource Center.
The two sides first entered into a grant agreement for fiscal year 2024 and first renewed it last year for another $250,000 to operate the program.
The new term the council agreed to runs from July 1 through June 30, 2026.
