Help us shape the future of child care in Oregon! First Children’s Finance is conducting the 3rd Annual Child Care Business Sustainability Survey to better understand the financial and operational challenges and opportunities facing your business. Share your experiences and opinions on workforce, facilities, funding, and more no later than March 21, 2026!
If you are an owner or administrator who makes business decisions for a family child care home or a child care center, we encourage you to participate. Your insight will help identify areas where additional business support is needed and inform our programs and initiatives across the state. Look for the survey link in your email inbox that was sent on March 3, 2026.

Survey Details:
