Supporting Family Child Care since 1982
WFCCA was established in May of 1982 during the First Annual Wisconsin Family Day Care Association conference in Madison, WI. A group of volunteers from each of the 6 regions in the state formed a steering committee to lead this new organization.
In 1993, the organization's name was changed to Wisconsin Family Child Care. This change reflected the growing recognition that Family Child Care is a valid profession and that quality child care is more than babysitting.
As time passed, the original 6 regions expanded into 17 regions. In May 2018, the 17 regions were reorganized into 8, with an additional Regional Representative position added to each region.
About Wisconsin Family Child Care Association's Governing Board
The Wisconsin Family Child Care Association is led by a dedicated Board of Directors made up of volunteers who are elected by WFCCA members. This Board includes Executive and Operational Directors, as well as Regional Representatives.
Board meetings occur at least four times per year. WFCCA Members have the opportunity to attend these meetings, but only Board Members are able to vote. The meeting dates are provided below. The specific times, schedule, and additional information will be included in upcoming newsletters. If a meeting is scheduled on Zoom, you can contact us through Facebook to request access.
