Every early child care business owner and director has goals.
Maybe you'd like to save time through better systems, simplify daily operations, or navigate regulations. And wouldn't it be great to connect with other directors who understand the work you do?

The challenge usually isn't knowing what you’d like to get done. It's finding the time to focus on it.

That's why the New Growth Women's Business Center created the Child Care Business Accelerator—a six-month, no-cost program for owners and directors of Missouri early childhood education (ECE) programs serving children ages 0–5.

Each year, the New Growth Women's Business Center coaches hundreds of small businesses. The Child Care Business Accelerator builds on that experience with field-tested child care business resources and tools developed by leading early childhood experts and supported through trusted Missouri partnerships.

What you'll gain:
✔ Save time and money on business tasks and purchases
✔ Trusted ECE-specific tools and resources matched to your business goals
✔ One-on-one guidance and a peer community who understand the work

The first group begins this September for 10 child care businesses in rural west-central Missouri, and applications are due September 1.

If you're ready to invest in your business, save time, and connect with others who understand your work, we'd love to have you join us.
