Three Black Hawk County child care centers were recognized in July for their accomplishments as participants in the Iowa Growth Fund Program. The Growth Fund is a multi-year program designed to move successful childcare businesses "to the next level" in their business operations and growth.
The Growth Fund provided the centers with training and one-on-one business consulting, opportunities to network and exchange ideas with their peers, and to learn from business advisors in various areas of expertise from marketing to finances. Each of the centers developed a business plan and received grant funds to support the implementation of their goals over a two-year period. The centers used the grant funds to make business improvements related to marketing, playground and classroom improvements, staff development, and certain equipment purchases.
