Faribault Cares envisions a future where every child in Faribault thrives in a nurturing and stimulating childcare environment. We believe that access to high-quality childcare is not a privilege, but a fundamental right for all families. By fostering a network of collaboration, creativity, and connection, we aim to:

• Eliminate barriers to childcare: We work to ensure that no family in Faribault faces the difficult choice between work and childcare due to limited options or affordability.

• Empower childcare providers: We provide ongoing support, resources, and professional development opportunities to childcare providers, recognizing their crucial role in shaping young minds.

• Nurture children's education and development: We advocate for innovative and enriching childcare experiences that cultivate a love for learning and equip children with the social, emotional, and cognitive skills they need to succeed.
