Writing a business plan or marketing your child care business can be rather daunting.  User-friendly tools can make the process much simpler.  FCF has recently added several easy-to-use “getting started” and “marketing” tools for child care centers and family providers to our website.  These new tools nicely augment the business planning and financial budgeting tools that have always been a part of our website toolbox.

Our tools are helpful to both child care providers and those professionals who work with them.  At a recent FCF training in South Dakota on the business side of child care, resource and referral and licensing staff praised our “wonderful” and “useful” business tools.   

To check all our tools, click on Tools for Child Care Centers or Tools for Family Providers.  We are continually adding and improving our tools, so check our website regularly.
