Why the Child Care House Matters

Communities across the country are facing an urgent child care crisis:

  • Lack of available care forces families to leave small towns or rely on unlicensed providers.
  • Child care deserts make it harder for businesses to hire and retain employees.
  • Traditional child care centers are financially unviable in low-population areas.
  • Home-based providers face barriers, including rental restrictions and housing costs.

The Child Care House is an innovative, community-driven response to these challenges. It provides a fully licensed, standalone child care facility that supports local providers and working families, ensuring that child care is accessible, sustainable, and aligned with economic development priorities.

  • Residential-Grade Framing & Insulation – Built for year-round comfort and energy efficiency.
  • Low-Maintenance Exterior – Weather-resistant siding and efficient drainage system.
  • Flexible Layout – Can be converted into a standard home if community needs change.
