Quality early care and education is a proven means for preparing children for future academic success and a necessity for working parents. Yet virtually every low-income neighborhood lacks an adequate supply of quality child care facilities. To help meet these needs, LISC's Community Investment Collaborative for Kids (CICK) offers financial and technical assistance to develop and improve child care centers. CICK brings public officials, child care providers, philanthropies, and other stakeholders to the table to devise comprehensive and innovative solutions to child care supply and quality problems.

With CICK’s support, LISC has invested $24 million in planning and developing 140 new facilities serving 15,000 children in lower-income urban and rural neighborhood nationwide. That investment has generated an additional $150 million in public and private resources for these projects.
