What are our goals?
In fall of 2023, we polled local child care providers of different types. Some of the challenges they identified include:

Some of the things we are working on include:
If you are a prospective or current provider struggling with one or more of these issues, have an idea on how to solve one of these issues, or have a different challenge you think we might be able to help tackle, please reach out to us at W3CAssociation@gmail.com. If you are a current provider and want a free membership to the Association (and all the great resources that come with it--including a listing on our Find a Provider webpage), please click here.
Looking at child care as a future career?
We would love to help you pursue a career in child care. Whether its accessing internships to satisfy a CTE program requirement, pursing your Child Development Associate certification, or shadowing a child care provider for a day, we'd love to help.

Our start-up packets, located at the MEDCO Office, include:
