About NCFN

The National Children’s Facilities Network (NCFN) is a coalition of more than 70 nonprofit Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs), financial and technical assistance intermediaries, and early care and education (ECE) stakeholders dedicated to helping ECE providers develop high-quality physical learning environments and sustainable business models. By providing technical assistance and financing to early learning providers, we seek to address capital needs and business capacity challenges that limit working family’s ability to gain equitable access to high-quality ECE programs. NCFN is particularly focused on developing and improving child care supply in in areas that have the least access to high quality ECE and the highest concentrations of poverty.    

The Network’s purpose is to:

• Share information on children’s facilities issues and aligned ECE provider technical assistance and capacity building;

• Recommend legislation and regulations affecting access to high quality ECE facilities; and

• Develop and support various financing strategies, initiatives and programs
