Project-Specific
Technical Assistance
CIP staff and expert consultants help child care providers
to explore project feasibility, assess potential sites, identify
appropriate financing and select skilled and reliable architects
and contractors. CIP also guides providers through each step
of facility planning and development - from the design phase
to the first day children gather for story time on the newly
carpeted floor. |

Flexible
Project Financing
Access
to capital is an essential ingredient for any successful building
project. Even small projects can be costly. To make facilities
projects more affordable, CIP offers low-interest loans to reduce
costs and spread the expenditure over many years. These loans
come with flexible terms to make it easier for providers to
qualify for financing. CIP can also advance funds, interest-free,
during the early stages of project planning to pay for architectural
drawings, environmental studies, legal fees and other “upfront”
costs. |

Training
CIP
offers specialized workshops and resource materials that illuminate
the vital connections between quality facility design and program
success. These sessions and materials guide early childhood
professionals through the facility planning process, share best
practices and help to identify innovative ways to assemble the
money needed to create the best spaces for children to thrive
in. |
