Regional Child Care Coalitions

The Child Care Coalition is a network of parents, providers, businesses, EDOs, and community partners working together to strengthen early childhood systems. Families across the region face high costs and limited access, with more than 20,000 children lacking care, while providers struggle with staffing shortages, low wages, and sustainability challenges. Recognizing that child care is vital for families, communities, and the economy, the coalition will meet regularly to share updates, align efforts, and collaborate through focused working groups that lead strategies on priority issues—ensuring we stay connected as a coalition while driving meaningful action.

We invite you to get involved and tell others!
