ABOUT US
Butte 4-C’s is a non-profit regional child care resource and referral agency serving children, families, and early childhood professionals in southwest Montana. We became a 501 (c) 3 organization over 49 years ago in June of 1974. Although child care resource and referral is our primary source of business, our organization provides a broad range of programs and services to meet the increasing needs of children and families.
Mission
Butte 4-C’s mission is to support families and early childhood professionals through programs that promote healthy child development and empower families.
Guiding Principles
Family Empowerment
We recognize families as the experts of their own lives. We work collaboratively to empower them with resources, knowledge, and support to make informed decisions and strengthen their resilience.
​
Community Collaboration
We believe strong families build strong communities. We partner with local organizations, schools, and service providers to create a comprehensive support network that meets the evolving needs of families.
​
Lifelong Learning
We promote continuous growth and learning for both children and adults, offering opportunities for education, skill development, and parenting support.
​
Safe and Welcoming Environment
We provide a space that is physically and emotionally safe for all. Families are greeted with warmth, compassion, and respect at every interaction.
​
Child-Centered Care
We believe all children deserve access to safe, healthy, enriched, and stable childcare. This care must be developmentally appropriate, provided in a nurturing environment by trained and compassionate caregivers who support each child's growth and well-being.
