Family providers are the bulk of our childcare workforce. Yet they operate as individual small businesses. One or two people shoulder the heavy management, finance, and regulatory load.

Could cooperative approaches help? Opportunities include:
· Shared Services like Paperwork processing or Group purchasing
· New Revenue like Employer contracts or Public funding streams
· Mutual Support like Capacity building or Programming
Meet with us at an upcoming event. Attend a session online.
We would love to hear from family care providers to understand how these cooperative approaches might or might not work for your business.
We welcome your thoughts about:
· Organizing a childcare cooperative
· Converting a retiring operation
· Adding cooperative elements
