Across Connecticut and the country, child care providers continue to face significant challenges securing affordable, stable, and high-quality facilities. At the same time, families continue to struggle with access to care, and employers face the economic impacts of an unstable child care system.

CERCLE and Mission Driven Finance (MDF) are partnering to bring the Care Access Real Estate (CARE) approach to Connecticut, an innovative model designed to strengthen the child care ecosystem by investing in the physical spaces where care happens.
