Advocating for Family Child Care and Early Childhood Education

WFCCA's Early Childhood Advocacy

Wisconsin Family Child Care Association stands as a strong advocate for family child care providers, early childhood professionals, and the families you serve. We understand that you are not just a caregiver, but an educator who builds the foundation of a child's learning journey.

As the professional voice of early childhood professionals across Wisconsin, we work to raise awareness about the importance of early care and education and speak out on a variety of early childhood issues. Founded specifically as a family child care organization, we embrace our vital role in supporting family child care providers and advocating for your unique rights and needs.
