Child Care Works Campaign
The Child Care Works Campaign is created to give child care providers, both center-based and family child care, a way to show how their child care programs help their local communities and local economy. If you are a provider, complete the following forms to get your Child Care Works tool!
“I liked this tool! It helped me to recognize that everything I do has an impact. As providers we are so focused on doing the business we don’t realize the positive contributions we make outside of it.” – Rhoda C., Chicago
About the Child Care Works Tool
As part of this campaign, child care providers can fill out a form (center-based and home-based) that generates a 1-page tool.
This tool gives each child care provider resources to effectively speak to their legislators and advocate for the protection of child care programs in the state, educate community members about the benefits of child care, and build new relationships with each other and members of their community. For more details on the Child Care Works Campaign, refer to our Fact Sheet.
For additional information or to join this campaign, please contact the Community Engagement team at advocacy@actforchildren.org or 773-564-8843.
