The Chicano Federations Women’s Small Business Development Program is a childcare training program that provides women with the skills and resources to start a home-based childcare business through an eight-week course that prepares them for the states licensing requirements.

Often, women from diverse communities struggle to find ways to provide for their families and to meet the increasing living costs. At the same time, many parents of young children struggle to find quality affordable childcare. The goal of this program is to provide women with a unique opportunity to start their own business, while helping families in need of affordable childcare.
