Dear Child Care Providers,  

Child Care Collaborative of Iowa guides child care programs to improve financial practices and optimize resources that benefit children, families, and businesses. We know that managing a business can be challenging, and we are here to help.

Introducing: The Child Care Collaborative of Iowa’s Business Library
We are thrilled to announce the launch of a new online Business Library. CCCI’s expert team has compiled a wide range of financial and business resources specifically for child care providers and business administrators.
