My Sister’s Keeper Daycare & Preschool

Christina Carmichael had visions of expanding her daycare and preschool on the Flathead Indian Reservation in Western Montana. When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, those plans kicked into high gear, as Christina started taking more kids and needed to expand the facility to meet childcare licensing requirements. As the pandemic’s impacts grew, so did her clients’ needs. MoFi provided Christina with an $11,277 SBA Microloan in August 2020, enabling her to move forward with the expansion, adding a second classroom, bathroom, new parking area and privacy fence to allow children to play safely in the front yard.
