How We Help Communities Build Stronger Child Care
Business of Child Care helps communities realize the economic impact of their child care investment. Child care is an economic multiplier, boosting labor force participation, which allows working families to achieve wage realization, and communities to reach their economic potential.
Business of Child Care can work with you to understand your current child care landscape as well as develop and implement a plan of action to benefit the community, families and businesses that support them.

Your Plan
Using our Whole Community Approach, we help bring together beneficiaries of child care to understand opportunities for better outcomes. We then create an action plan that a community can be confident to act on.

Some communities already have a plan but need help to make it happen. Business of Child Care is a trusted partner to help implement community plans that support existing providers and create new capacity.
