Shared Services Alliance - 1 Year of Progress

January 24, 2025

The Shared Services Alliance (SSA) provides business coaching and back-office supports such as accounting, payroll, and human resources, to childcare providers in our region. These services help providers reduce costs, maximize profits, operate at full capacity, and redirect their resources to employee salaries and benefits. Our goal is to alleviate provider burnout, save providers money, and allow them to focus more on their mission and the children and families they serve. The SSA officially launched in January of 2024 and is open to all childcare providers. The SSA is structured into three tiers, varying the resources and support provided. The SSA supports all types of childcare programs, working with family day homes, private centers, religious-exempt centers, Head Start programs and public school-based programs.
