Reimagining the infrastructure/ecosystem needed to support child care providers requires solutions that address the historic and structural issues and designing innovative approaches that not only allow the providers of this critical care to survive economically but to also provide a pathway to building sustainable asset building opportunities.
During this discussion, attendees learned about:
  • Current challenges around the financing landscape for child-care businesses
  • The need and vision for more equitable cross-sector solutions
  • Innovations in financing models that can support home-based childcare businesses to build assets
  • Opportunities for catalytic philanthropic collaboration and investments
