Building Child Care Into New Developments: A Guide for Creating Child Care Facilities in Transit-oriented Developments (PDF)
By Local Investment in Child Care Project , Ed.
June 29, 2008

Summary: This guide suggests that including a child care center in a transit-oriented development (TOD) can help move the project forward to completion. It shows how developers have benefited from incorporating child care centers in their plans. It presents case studies, tips, and resources for private and non-profit developers and for city planning, transit, or redevelopment agencies. Communities, cities, and development and transit agencies are increasingly recognizing child care as an economic driver. As a result, they are finding innovative ways to help support child care facilities, such as using transportation funds. In California, there are a dozen TODs with child care, and many more in the planning stages.
