Running a successful family child care program takes love and dedication – and also requires strong business skills, smart planning and the right support. All Our Kin’s free, bilingual Business Support Team equips home-based educators with the tools, strategies, and confidence needed to thrive as business owners.
Through interactive workshops, personalized coaching and practical resources, educators gain the knowledge they need to grow their home-based businesses and
build long-term financial security.
Business Support is available to educators who are licensed or in the process of becoming licensed family child care providers in Connecticut and New York. Substitutes and
assistants may also be eligible.
For agencies and organizations looking for business support, please visit our Training and Technical Assistance page.
