Strong communities start with strong starts. ❤️

Child care is more than a service—it's the foundation that allows parents to work, businesses to grow, and children to thrive. Every child care provider makes a lasting impact on our families, our workforce, and the future of Faribault County.

We want to say thank you to the incredible providers who care for our youngest residents each day. Your dedication helps build stronger families and stronger communities.

If you've ever considered becoming a child care provider, now is a wonderful time to explore the opportunity. Resources, training, and local support are available—and we'd love to help you get started.
