Addressing the Business Needs of Child Care
![Page 4: Building Better Child Care Business Practices: A Strategy ... · Teri Talen, McCormick Center for Early Childhood Leadership • • • Deborah Flis, Program Specialist, Connecticut](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051807/600372321d493854a908f7fe/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Why Should You Care About Business?
•
•
Business quality is the bedrock of all program quality
States have been making significant investments in quality care and the workforce
•
•
If child care businesses cannot remain financially viable, these investments are wasted
Workforce compensation and supply issues do not have universal investment solutions; currently being addressed at the individual child care business level
