How to Open a Child Care Program

There is a great need for quality early childhood programs. Opening your own early childhood program is an excellent investment both for you and your community. The benefits are two-fold: you benefit by establishing a quality early childhood program, and the families in your community benefit from the services of a high quality early childhood program. Opening a early childhood program takes money, time, and most of all organization and planning.

Child Care Resource & Referral has updated information on current early childhood programs, and can assist you with geographic areas that need child care. We also may offer technical assistance to new early childhood programs in establishing your program regarding the staffing patterns, age groups, curriculum, location, and many other aspects of operating an early childhood program. 

Once you have established your program, you will want to make sure that you are included in the Child Care Resource & Referral's early childhood program marketing database. The Child Care Resource & Referral is usually the first place parents look for assistance in locating child care in the community.
