"Bringing innovation and collaboration to the early childhood community"

(1888PressRelease) November 15, 2007 - Murrieta, CA – Choosing family child care in Minnesota will soon be easier because Childcare Bridge International, Inc. and MLFCCA have joined forces to offer their providers a website for their business.

The Minnesota Family Child Care Association conducted their quarterly board meeting November 10, 2007 in the Twin Cities area to vote on a partnership with Childcare Bridge International, Inc. The vote was overwhelming in support of the partnership agreement. Feedback from the general assembly was excellent. The arrangement will allow the Association to offer their providers a significant discount exclusively for MLFCCA members purchasing Childcare Bridge web solutions.

Minnesota child care organizations have been setting the bar for quality standards in the United States for some time. In fact, the National Association of Child Care Resource and Referral (NACCRRA) ranked the state of Minnesota in the top 10 for Child Care Center standards in the United States in a report published in February 2007. The Minnesota Resource and Referral Agency has been a pilot program for military respite programs. The Minnesota Licensed Family Child Care Association (MLFCCA) is definitely committed to continuing their contribution to the state’s success. By offering the Childcare Wizard, MLFCCA is offering parents another useful tool that allows for the easy identification of quality child care homes while bringing innovative business tools to their providers; keeping Minnesota on the forefront of leadership in the child care industry. There are a potential of over 11,000 licensed family childcare providers in the state of Minnesota that could benefit from this partnership.

The Childcare Wizard is a comprehensive website creator exclusively for the early childhood community. In addition to offering the typical website features that enhance communications and passive revenue, the Childcare Wizard also offers unique child development planning tools in a web-based format. These innovative web solutions are currently assisting child care programs of all sizes across the country and there are plans to expand this internationally.

Bridget Carruth, one Provider from New York who has used the Childcare Wizard says: “I am so delighted with the Childcare Wizard. It was so easy to set up and modify. I know the childcare business inside out. What differentiates Childcare Bridge from others is that you really know us and that you are enabling not only caregivers and children but also parents to work together. Truly, that is the bridge that we need to give our children the quality early education and care they deserve.”

It is the goal of both organizations that providers everywhere have the tools that they need to offer quality child care for the children of America. Innovative technology tools and the internet will serve as a catalyst to fulfilling this objective. Last year alone, there were 18,000 children placed in child care in the state of Minnesota from internet searches. Now that family child care providers have the tools to showcase their businesses effectively, that number will only multiply offering an abundance of choice for the parents of Minnesota.
