Running a child care program means more than caring for children.

You are also managing payments, expenses, paperwork, parent communication, taxes, and business decisions — often while doing it all from your own home.

You do not have to figure it out alone.

Join us for Building a Strong Business: Financial Health, Operations, and Resources, a practical training designed to help child care small business owners feel more confident, organized, and connected.

This training is especially for Family Child Care and Home Daycare providers, but any child care program that operates as a small business is welcome to attend.

During this session, you will learn ways to strengthen your financial health, improve business operations, and take your next step toward a more sustainable child care business.

The afternoon will also include Resource Roundtables, where you can connect directly with organizations offering loans, accounting support, business coaching, and financial resources.

Confirmed resource partners include:
Build Fund at Intend Indiana
Central Indiana Women’s Business Center at Indy Chamber
Financial Resource Group Accounting Firm (Tehea Harding)
IFF

Everyone who attends will receive a budget planner to support their financial organization after the training.

Happy Juneteenth from GrowthWise Solutions!

Today, we honor Juneteenth — a day of freedom, reflection, resilience, and continued progress.

At GrowthWise Solutions, we believe that early care and education programs play a powerful role in building a more equitable future. When children are welcomed into learning environments that celebrate diversity, honor history, and reflect the communities they come from, they grow with confidence, compassion, and understanding.

As we celebrate freedom, we also recommit to supporting child care providers, educators, children, and families through equity, inclusion, and meaningful community impact.

May this day remind us that every child deserves a high-quality learning environment where they are seen, valued, and supported.

Happy Juneteenth!
