Childcare Resources of Indian River has secured $1,958,600 in New Markets Tax Credits financing to support the organization’s new Campus of Early Childhood Excellence in downtown Vero Beach. Across the nation, families continue to face a critical shortage of affordable, high-quality childcare and early education. Childcare Resources is addressing that challenge locally by creating a purpose-built campus.

“Graduation is a wonderful reflection of the heart of our mission,” said Childcare Resources executive director, Shannon McGuire Bowman. “These students demonstrate what is possible when children have access to nurturing, developmentally focused early learning opportunities. We are honored to prepare them for kindergarten and remain committed to leading the way in early childhood education in Indian River County.”

The appropriation was made possible through the support and advocacy of Representative Robert Brackett and Senator Debbie Mayfield, who championed this critical initiative and supported its inclusion in the state budget.
