“…They (FCF) honestly have a true love for the children of Michigan.  I feel like -- because of them -- the children of Michigan will have a brighter future." 
-- Cassandra Rice, Director of Our Kidz World Learning Center

"...First Children’s Finance has given me an opportunity that I thought I’d never have-- a chance to grow my business.  They also have given me support and confidence to fulfill my dreams for my business.” 
--Mrs. Katherine Tuggle of Angel Wings Child Care Center

"...I really feel empowered. I feel like I can do it. Really it inspired me to go deeper and evaluate our finances. I am so excited about my new financial knowledge. It opened my eyes to some things I wasn’t aware of. I found some errors that I didn’t even know to look for. Now I am inputting actual numbers in my spreadsheets so that I track income and expenses more accurately…I had been so discouraged…and now I feel courageous and encouraged. I can do it. I know my program can become awesome.”  
--Shirley Wright-Hailey of Little Scholar’s
