Supporting the business of child care

To increase children’s readiness for school and life, First Children’s Finance is dedicated to improving the quality and financial viability of child care and early education businesses in homes, centers, and schools.  Many organizations share this goal, but our expertise in both child care and business makes FCF unique. For 15 years, we have worked to increase the quality and financial viability of childcare and early education programs — in centers, daycare homes and schools — because well-managed businesses are more likely to provide stable, high-quality care for children. 

With the support and commitment of our partners, FCF finances child care businesses and builds the business skills of child care and early education professionals in multiple states, including our home state of Minnesota.

Our objectives are clear. By investing in high quality child care businesses and the professionals who lead them, we can keep more doors open to children and families. By advocating for public policies that support child care, we can expand the availability of affordable options. And by developing innovative child care strategies and systems, we can help improve quality and learning.
