At the National Association for Family Child Care (NAFCC), we believe in the power of advocacy and leadership to drive positive change in the family child care landscape. Erica Phillips, our Executive Director, embodies this commitment through her upcoming speaking engagements, where she will address critical issues impacting caregivers, children, and families.
These events present invaluable opportunities for family child care providers, educators, and advocates to come together, share insights, and build momentum for collective action. As Erica engages with diverse audiences, she will emphasize the importance of collaboration between family child care and policy initiatives, aiming to bridge the gap between narrative and actionable strategies that support caregivers and children alike.
