Child care
Creating solutions and systems that produce the best possible outcomes for children

Supporting an integrated early care and education system
ICF promotes and sustains highly effective change for child care systems, creating positive outcomes for children and families. We deliver a multidimensional, capacity-building approach to support states, territories, and tribes as they expand access and supply of high-quality child care for all including low-income families, and infant and toddler services.

Targeted training and technical assistance for child care professionals
ICF is committed to ensuring high-quality learning opportunities by advancing the professional development of those working in the child care field. We provide training, technical assistance, and a suite of tailored services designed to help programs meet mandated requirements and demonstrate accountability to funding sources.

Leading collaboration efforts that improve outcomes for children
Fostering trusting relationships between early learning leaders and stakeholders across all levels is the only way to successfully integrate and align standards, coalesce accountability measures, design innovative new strategies, and maximize financing to improve outcomes. ICF supports states and territories in building their capacity to work collaboratively across settings and sectors on solutions and systems that produce the best possible outcomes for children.
