Shared Services

Empowering Shared Services Organizations so Early Childhood Educators Can Thrive


Shared services for providers, like those supported by Child Care Aware of America (CCAOA), are designed to help early childhood education programs, including Family Child Care Centers, providers and public programs, improve their operations and quality of service by pooling resources, providing support and advocacy, and centralizing administrative tasks to help create a more cohesive early education system. Organizations like CCAOA advocate for and facilitate the development of these shared service alliances, understanding that collaboration can lead to greater efficiency and effectiveness in early childhood education.

Administrative Efficiency

Shared services can handle common administrative functions, such as: payroll, human resources, purchasing, and financial management. Additionally,  providers save time by the streamlined provision of digital curriculum, assessment, and professional development. This centralization reduces duplication of effort and can lead to cost savings and more streamlined processes.

Quality Improvement

By joining a shared service organization, providers can access higher quality resources and training programs for their staff. This can include digital resources, such as:  curriculum, professional development, and support in your state's QRIS, quality initiatives, and state standards.

Purchasing Power

Through the shared services partnership, Learning Beyond Paper can provide the most cost-effective solutions and yield the best return on investment for your high-quality, unique digital curriculum needs.
