The Commonwealth faces a critical shortage of appropriate and affordable child care facilities. Quality facilities are a key ingredient in quality child care, because they enhance the interaction between teachers and children; promote the educational development of children, and reduce teacher turnover.

Many child care organizations see the need for improvement and expansion of their facilities, but do not know where to begin. CEDAC's affiliate organization, the Children's Investment Fund, helps providers address their facility needs by offering technical assistance and pre-development funding, flexible loan financing, and access to capital grant financing.
