As we consider how we invest in #childcare facilities, we can't forget the outdoor spaces, how they contribute to our children's health & learning & how #climate change impacts our ability to be outside. @AspenInstitute @CEIMaine capita.org/capita-ideas/2023…
On Weds 10/11 from 7-8 PM we are hosting an intro session on Zoom where folks can learn about how to open a family child care and decide if the Child Care Business Lab program is a good fit.
