Wisconsin Family Child Care AssociationSupporting Family Child Care Since 1982 |
About WFCCA
WFCCA was born in May of 1982 at the First Annual Wisconsin Family Day Care Association conference in Madison, WI. A steering committee of volunteers from each of the 6 regions in the state was formed to lead this new organization.
In 1993 the organization changed its name 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.
Over the years the original 6 regions grew into 17 regions. In May 2018 the 17 regions were reorganized into 8 and an additional Regional Rep position was added to each region.
WFCCA Board of Directors
The Wisconsin Family Child Care Association is governed by a Board of Directors who are elected by WFCCA members. The Board consists of Executive Directors, Operational Directors, and Regional Representatives.
