When Sofia started looking for spaces for Cottontails Childcare and Learning Center she realized she would have to prove to landlords and banks that she was knowledgeable enough to take on such a business and would be able to run it. That’s when she first turned to WBDC for support. In addition to classes and one-on-one business advising Sofia has received from WBDC Sofia has also received grants through the WBDC Child Care Business Opportunity Fund (provided in partnership with CT OEC). According to Sofia, “With the help of WBDC, who always believed in me, I created business plans, projections, and policies and was able to open Cottontails Childcare and Learning Center.”
