WFCCA is committed to supporting family child care providers through continuous learning and meaningful networking, helping ensure every child receives the highest quality care. Explore some of the professional development opportunities we offer:
Our monthly Huddles provide a space for family child care providers to collaborate, share best practices, and discuss challenges common to our profession. Just like a sports huddle, we come together as teammates to exchange information and motivate each other. Expect engaging conversations, updates on current trends, and focused training during these sessions. Kick off on Zoom at 1:30 the fourth Tuesday of the month. Hosts understand the demands of caring for young children, so feel free to pop in and out as needed. Our main goal is to provide support through shared experiences and to give all Huddle attendees a sense of connection. To receive the schedule, join the Huddle email list.
If you find it hard to get away for a full conference, a mini-conference is the perfect alternative! Time-saving and cost-effective, our mini-conferences bring family child care providers together to collaborate, learn, and grow. Enjoy the same opportunities for meaningful conversations, professional growth, and building community with fellow early childhood professionals as a traditional conference, but in a shorter format. Each mini-conference offers a complete day of training conducted by industry experts, accompanied by a light lunch—all at an affordable price! Attend your region’s next mini-conference to expand your horizons, make new friends, and reignite passion for making a positive impact in the world.
