The Fairfax County Economic Development Authority touts our County’s strong continuum of education opportunities, beginning with early care and education, among the benefits of living and doing business in Fairfax County. “Access to high-quality, affordable child care and preschool from state-licensed or county-permitted early-childhood educators lays the foundation for a child's success and helps their parents and caregivers minimize absenteeism at work,” the FCEDA website says. The FCEDA works with companies interested in starting, expanding and relocating businesses to Fairfax County.
