Tax Education
We now provide tax education services for center and home-based child care providers. These services focus on tax education, not tax preparation, to maximize potential tax savings. Our staff will provide instructions for signing an agreement and share a link to a drop box for submitting your previous year’s tax returns. Taking these steps early will allow you to use these educational suggestions in the current tax year. Providers will receive a detailed letter outlining actionable steps for potential tax savings, which you can share with tax preparers.
Professional Services
Our Professional Support program offers education, resources, and on-site coaching to support early childhood providers in providing high-quality early childhood opportunities for the children they serve.
Our team coaches from a foundation of trauma-informed strategies, racial equity focus, and positive behavior support.
