CENTER DIRECTORS AND FAMILY CHILD CARE PROVIDERS
Foundations for Families can save you time and help you meet the challenges of community child care.
The business of child care is viewed as the one of most challenging businesses of all. We support child care centers and homes by:

- Connecting centers to share costs and leverage resources (shared services)
- Coordinating accreditation efforts
- Providing required teacher training in the context of a smart plan for professional development and your center’s quest for quality
- Strengthening management, operations and fiscal capacities
- Supporting boards of directors, training in business operations
- Supporting Management/Operations
- Verifying an accurate payment rate for centers in EHS-CCP relationships
Help your center go from good to great
Our analysis, coaching and mentoring model and validated assessment tools target management and operations practices to maximize impact on your early childhood program.
FFF worked in a highly collaborative way with all members of our team. Their approach to development and management of policies and procedures was a welcome paradigm shift.
It was clear that we needed some significant expertise and help to put the organizational, fiscal, program and policy structure in place to run this program well and remain in compliance. Linda Dunphy…helped us to make quick progress on the learning curve and brought a wealth of knowledge and expertise from working with programs around the county.
Are you maximizing your revenue?
Fiscal challenges are the number one reason centers go out of business. Improve your fiscal skills and your center’s bottom line.
Foundations for Families will support you in a friendly, smart and non-threatening way. We help community child care centers develop sound fiscal and business practices – provide quality care with a balanced budget.

Amy was retained to lead the search from beginning to end. She was on time with everything, exceeded our already high expectations and never stopped searching until we found the perfect, and I do mean perfect, candidate for our Center.
It took a professional like you to give us the tools of knowledge to coach others on how to prevent a potentially devastating business failure, and to produce a successful service to the community.
