According to a recent survey from childcare platform Care.com, the average cost to enroll a child in a licensed day care can set you back $16,692 annually in 2024, or $321 a week for just one child, a little less for infants. That’s 25% of the average U.S. income putting childcare out of reach for many.

The answer: increasing the availability of more affordable providers.  Leveraging 20 years assisting 1,000s of entrepreneurs with their businesses delivering affordable and accessible training, resources and coaching, the Economic Growth Business Incubator (EGBI) announces the collaborative launch of the Childcare Biz Bootcamp, a comprehensive program tailored to the unique needs of childcare businesses.

The program is aimed to meet the business management, financial planning, marketing strategies, and sustainable practice needs of childcare providers.
