Start the [new] year with confidence by mastering the financial aspects of your child care business. This workshop provides a comprehensive review of essential financial tools, including your annual budget, Profit and Loss Statement, Cash Flow Statement, and Balance Sheet. Participants will explore strategies for blending and braiding funding streams to diversify income sources and enhance financial stability. While programs like the Center Directors’ Network and Spark! are accessible to all, Baby Promise (BP) and Preschool Promise (PP) may already be part of some participants’ funding mix. These programs will be reviewed as components to consider within financial statements, emphasizing how to effectively track and plan for multiple revenue streams to support operational sustainability and quality care.
