Note: Family Child Care Business Essentials (FCCBE) is currently being piloted as a self-directed, self-paced course where participants can proceed through learning materials and a series of one-on-one meetings with a child care business expert at their own pace and will have up to 2.5 months to complete the materials. As you complete this form you will be given a choice between the self-paced option or to be put on a waiting list for an instructor-led course which we anticipate (but don't guarantee) being available in the fall.
Family Child Care Business Essentials at WomenVenture is a 10-session virtual classroom learning experience that prepares participants to launch a new professional family child care business. With a focus on building a solid business foundation that leads to profitability and sustainability, participants will apply concepts learned through simulated activities in an interactive group environment.
