Jackson County and community leaders are exploring hosted spaces—a new approach to increasing local child care access through smaller, community-based units operated locally.

This recorded information session introduces the hosted spaces concept and how it differs from traditional child care centers. It covers operator roles and responsibilities for those interested in hosting, along with key considerations including licensing, compliance, program design, and financial readiness. The session also provides a business case overview with a look at revenue, expenses, and the path to sustainability. The 20-minute presentation is followed by community Q&A and discussion.
