Expansion Workshop Series
Building Blocks for Child Care (b2c2) is excited to announce our upcoming workshop series on practical tips and information for expanding your Ontario child care centre.
This is a great chance to ask experienced industry leaders questions on expanding your centre. These webinars will provide attendees with hands-on, practical information on specific topics in child care expansion, including choosing a location for your building, recruiting staff and more.
Each webinar will be led by an expert in the topic. These workshops are designed for a smaller audience to ask questions and participate in discussion.
