"I am a newer director with the coalition, but I can always count on Bradley and his team if I have a question or a staff needs training. As we train new staff and use the training feature of the membership, Bradley and Kyle are always able to help us figure it out. I use Bradley as a resource and can send questions any time I need to. He is always happy to connect me to whomever I need. Thank you KMC for advocating and supporting when we need it!"

"I have worked with CCC for 4 consecutive years presently & about 10 consecutive years about 9 years ago. Out of those 14 years total, I have been more than pleased with the teamwork mindset, the going above & beyond for my afterschool programs and the drive to always search for ways to improve! We are truly blessed to partner with CCC/Kids Matter Coalition!!!"

"The active learning tools that they have provided for our center has been meaningful and has been truly effective. It has helped us towards our learning goals. With having the availability to offer online trainings it has been really helpful to my teachers especially during this trying time with the COVID-19 Virus. The trainers are great and very helpful and supportive with any questions that we may have. They also offer some training classes that come to your center, it is very easy to set up to do so. I want to say Thank you to all our childcare professionals, we really appreciate all the support. We are essential."

"Customers have questions, you have answers. Display the most frequently asked questions, so everybody benefits.
Child Care Council/Kids Matter is playing an integral role in our fight for legislative change that will provide childcare owners the means necessary to recruit/retain staff and provide quality early childhood developmental services through a viable business model. This is the only way we will be able to solve our state’s serious childcare shortage without adding to the financial burden burden of hard working families."
