Childcare centers built in underserved communities provide space for licensed programs to deliver affordable, high quality care to low-income infant, pre-school age, and school age children.
These sites can play an important role in developing the health of young children through building design elements, programs and policies.
New/rehabbed childcare center buildings can also serve as catalysts for other economic development.
