Childcare Tennessee
Childcare Tennessee, an initiative led by the Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee, and initially funded through a Tennessee Department of Human Services grant, focuses on collaborative opportunities in child care centers' administrative, programmatic, and operational services. The partnership’s goal is to improve the quality, accessibility and sustainability of the services offered to the children and families they serve.

Search for service vendors such as security companies, sprinkler system companies, and other services you may need for your center. Most municipalities that have a Chamber of Commerce will have business directories available, seek those out as a resource in finding reputable businesses.
