A Career Opportunity for You!

If you live in Penobscot or Piscataquis County and are interested in child care, Maine Stream Finance and the Penquis Child Care Resource Development Center have an opportunity for you! The Early Education Profession Project can help you start your own home-based Family Child Care or expand your program of five or less employees.  We can help you become certified by the State of Maine and start your business by providing you with resources and valuable training. We will help you learn how to plan learning activities and arrange your home for the children in your care and help you establish a budget and a realistic business plan. You will meet other Family Child Care providers to share ideas and develop friendships. The Early Education Profession Project also has some funds available to help you start or expand your Family Child Care business. This project is funded by a grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and geared to help individuals achieve economic self-sufficiency, and income guidelines apply.
