Investing in Early Childhood Education: Nova Learning Center

Nova Learning Center, based in North Providence, Rhode Island, is dedicated to providing high-quality childcare and early education for infants, toddlers, and school-aged children. The organization focuses on creating a supportive environment that fosters development and prepares children for future success.

Expanding a childcare business requires careful planning and investment, particularly when it comes to facilities, staffing, and compliance with regulatory standards. For Nova Learning Center, access to capital was essential to support growth while maintaining quality of care.

CIC provided $731,600 in combined SBA 504 and Community Advantage financing to support the expansion. This funding enabled the center to enhance its facilities and increase its capacity to serve families in the community.

With this support, Nova Learning Center continues to play an important role in early childhood development within the region. The project illustrates how financing can support businesses that deliver both economic and social impact.
