Child Care Providers

We get it: the child care system is broken.

MCCA supports you and your child care business, and works to build a better child care system.

We offer free shared services that keep you full and improve your bottom line. We save you time and money so that you can focus on quality care and mentoring your staff!

(MCCA Network shared services are free, pilot site shared services will be discounted or low cost)

Why Shared Services

Shared Services is a framework or management structure that allows providers to pay attention to giving high quality teaching and learning, while simultaneously making sure that business and administrative tasks are performed well.

Shared services have been demonstrated to:

Save providers hours per week

Improve quality by allowing providers to focus on care rather than business

Improve their bottom line by reducing vacancy rates

Reduce staff turnover by increasing support and mentoring

Increase parent satisfaction by using tech solutions and clear processes

MCCA has two phases:

Phase 1: Pilot Phase

Starting in spring 2024, MCCA will be piloted in the Cold Springs building with six independent providers in newly remodeled classrooms.

We are here!

2023- 2025

Phase 2: Network Expansion

MCCA is intended to be a virtual network such that any provider in the Missoula area can join and take advantage of the free shared services from their current locations. We will begin expanding and accepting providers into the virtual network starting sometime in 2025.

Starting 2025 -beyond
