WSB-TV reports $2 million grant will expand Quality Care for Children’s childcare scholarships
WSB-TV reported that Quality Care for Children received a $2 million grant from United Way of Greater Atlanta and the Joseph B. Whitehead Foundation to expand childcare assistance. The report said the nonprofit kept nearly 500 children in daycare and provided added revenue to almost 300 childcare programs during 2025. Participating families pay 7% of their income toward care, with scholarships covering the balance.

Why this matters
Affordable childcare can allow parents to remain employed while children retain stable early-learning placements. The grant is large enough to materially expand the nonprofit’s scholarship capacity in Atlanta and Clayton County.
