Management Toolkits
Running a high-quality home-based child care program requires leadership in both BUSINESS and PEDAGOGY. Staffed Family Child Care Networks offer a way for providers to excel at both. The Financial Management Toolkit supports Network coaches (and other technical assistance organizations) in empowering providers to grow stronger businesses that earn them a sustainable wage and frees up time to focus on serving children and families.

Management Toolkits
Running a high-quality childcare center requires leadership in both BUSINESS and PEDAGOGY. Shared Service Alliances offer a way for centers to excel at both. The Financial Management Toolkit supports Alliance coaches (and other technical assistance organizations) in guiding implementation of best business practices. Over time, these practices save time and allow a re-focus of the Director’s time and attention to supporting teachers and families.
“Whether you are a new child care business operator, or have been doing this for a while, the Opportunities Exchange Family Child Care—and Center Financial Management Toolkits are an incredible resource—certainly a “must download” for all child care business owners and operators.”
