Additionally, Child Care Group trains over 6,100 early childhood professionals annually, delivering more than 15,000 hours of professional development to enhance childcare quality. It operates six NAEYC-accredited centers, emphasizing small class sizes, low child-to-teacher ratios, and individualized education plans to prepare children for school and support family well-being, aiming to break the cycle of poverty.
