Supporting Family Child Care since 1982
The Wisconsin Family Child Care Association (WFCCA) began in May 1982 at the first Annual Wisconsin Family Day Care Association Conference in Madison, WI. Volunteers from across the state formed a steering committee, laying the foundation for an organization dedicated to supporting and strengthening family child care.
As the profession grew, so did WFCCA. Family child care gained recognition as a vital respected field—far more than “babysitting”—reflecting the skill, dedication, and care providers bring to children every day.
Over time, regions have been reorganized to best serve our members. Today, eight regions, each with Regional Representatives, provide connections, collaboration, and support for family child care across Wisconsin.
Dedicated Volunteers Guiding WFCCA’s Mission and Operations
The Wisconsin Family Child Care Association is guided by a dedicated team of volunteers, including the Executive and Operational Boards, as well as Regional Representatives. Together, they provide leadership, oversight, and support for the organization and its members.
Board meetings occur at least four times per year. All WFCCA Members are invited 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.
