Working families require affordable care to fully invest in their careers and their community. In response to this, families across Pierce County are the driving force behind new child care businesses, motivated by their own experiences and the need for quality, accessible care.

CCCI partners with these homegrown entrepreneurs to provide resources like grants, technical assistance, and business development tools to help family entrepreneurs succeed in launching and growing child care businesses. The Child Care Capacity Initiative helps families to become entrepreneurs, expanding child care options in Pierce County and supporting family economic stability.
