First Children's Finance is pleased to announce that we are accepting applications for our 2009 Growth Fund class in Detroit’s Skillman Good Neighborhoods. This is an exciting opportunity for nonprofit and for profit child care centers to enhance business expertise and also to grow as leaders and professionals.
