Care Access Real Estate
Why we invest in real estate for early care and education.
A real estate investment fund for child care.
Across the country, families need child care, but many have a hard time finding it due to a lack of licensed child care availability in their area. To grow and stabilize the supply of licensed child care that supports children, families, workers, and the community, we need to expand the capacity of existing quality child care providers — who consistently name real estate as a stressor and barrier to growth.
Care Access Real Estate (CARE)® addresses that challenge by purchasing, renovating, and leasing a national portfolio of commercial and residential properties specifically designed for child care. As a child-care-friendly landlord, we expand existing quality child care and support center- and home-based providers in achieving their dreams.

A transformed CARE home provides natural light and a safe, fun place to learn

Here's where we are so far.
*As of December 31, 2025
CARE works with local child care ecosystems to grow from good to great.
Knowing that we are just one piece of a big puzzle, we collaborate with partners embedded in their community. Ecosystem partners include early education and child care nonprofits, community development financial institutions (CDFIs), and public agencies.
Ecosystem partners help:
- Prioritize neighborhoods with significant child care needs and the kinds of properties optimal for licensed child care
- Identify and recruit child care providers who may be suitable CARE tenants
- Support providers to thrive in CARE properties with business support — including licensing, personal finance, and quality coaching
- Recommend regional policy adjustments to best support child care facilities development
Reinforcing CARE providers serving the community.
Our child care homes and facilities are operated by in-demand, experienced providers identified and supported by on-the-ground community partners. CARE leases properties to child care providers who include families under 100% of area median income and those located in communities with insufficient child care supply.
