Through this unique program by First Children's Finance, these child care centers received comprehensive business training, consulting, financial tools and planning to help strengthen their businesses and grow their quality child care services.
These six participating centers are ready to implement improvements with the help of Growth Fund Program grants. The Growth Fund is
sponsored by Scott County Kids Early Childhood Iowa and the Iowa Department of Human Services and supported by our valued community volunteer advisors.
