Child Care Wayfinder
Child Care Wayfinder
Child Care Wayfinder is your one-stop navigation network for starting and growing child care programs in Minnesota. We offer personalized support and resources to help you succeed!
- Start a Program. Thinking about starting a family child care program or child care center? We can help guide you through the process.
- Sustain Your Program. We can connect you to resources to help increase enrollment, strengthen relationships with children and families, improve staff retention, and address educator burnout.
- Grow Your Program. If you operate an existing child care program, you might want to open more locations, increase licensed capacity, or change license type. We can help you explore your options.
