START CHILD CARE - Child Care in Your Community

Access to child care is an important component of a community's infrastructure:

  • Helps to build a stable work force

  • Helps to attract and retain business to your community

  • Improves employee productivity and reduces absenteeism

  • Increases a children’s school readiness, which in turn enhances classroom learning for all children.

  • Helps children build life skills that will help them become healthier, more productive adults, employees, business leaders and citizens

Child Care Aware of North Dakota and  Vision West ND, with funding support from the Bush Foundation, created a Child Care in Your Community Guide ➜ to assist individuals and organizations as they consider child care options in their communities.  Topics include strategies to build capacity, child care models, financing options and more.
