As we close the chapter on 2024, I am proud to present the Impact Report for 2024. I am deeply inspired by the strides our community has made together in advancing family child care. At the National Association for Family Child Care (NAFCC), our mission remains unwavering: to empower educators, our valued members, and elevate the critical work they do for children, families, and communities. In 2024, we not only reaffirmed this commitment but also laid the groundwork for lasting growth and transformation in the field.
This report highlights the collective impact of our work—your work. Whether you are an educator shaping young lives, a partner championing this vital cause, or a supporter advocating for change, you are integral to this progress. Together, we are creating a future where family child care is recognized, respected and celebrated for its essential role in society.
