Child care makes a difference.
Child care matters—and not just for parents. When families can’t access care, the whole community suffers. People with kids can’t get to work or school. Employers have trouble keeping their workplaces staffed. And everyone feels the economic impact.
Did you know, there’s a major shortage of regulated child care in Linn, Benton, and Lincoln counties? At Growing Care, we want to fix this.
Growing Care is a program of Family Connections, the state-designated Child Care Resource and Referral agency serving Linn, Benton, and Lincoln counties in the state of Oregon. We offer training, technical assistance, systems navigation and support to help your child care business thrive.
