The Pikes Peak SBDC’s LEADING EDGE™ for Childcare Providers is created to help both licensed childcare providers (center-based) and start-ups. The program assists child care providers to strengthen business practices and the ever-changing landscape of the Colorado workforce.
In partnership with the Alliance for Kids and Early Connections, the SBDC is hosting this 6-week impactful course with the goal of enhancing business owner skills. (Program series will not meet on September 25th.)
This program is funded through a collaborative between the State of Colorado’s Office of Early Childhood, the Office of Economic Development and International Trade (OEDIT) and the Colorado SBDC network. A primary objective of this project is to strengthen the childcare provider business model and enhance business owner skills so that these critically important services can continue to support our local economies.
Facilitator: Cory Arcarese, SBDC Lead Early Childhood Education Consultant & Facilitator
The LEADING EDGE™ Course is a trademarked, statewide program for current business owners (or startups who are moving from idea stage to implementation).
