-----
4-C is a private not-for-profit social service agency that for more than 45 years has helped families and child care providers by offering services and resources that include Child Care Financial Assistance, Resource and Referral for Child Care, Parent and Provider Professional Development, the Child Care Food Program, Family Support as well as nursing, social work, mental health, Quality and Infant Toddler Specialists. The agency also advocates on behalf of children, families and Early Care and Education Providers.
The 4-C mission is to promote children’s well-being by advocating for quality, affordable, accessible child care. We support families and those providing child care by offering information, education, resources and services.
4-C advocates for children by monitoring legislation which affects them. We believe that engaging as many individuals as possible in fact-based advocacy is the best way to ensure budgets, laws, policies, services and practices to meet the needs of children and families in our communities. 4-C staff members make phone calls, send emails, write letters and when possible make appointments to meet with new legislators to introduce themselves and share hopes and concerns for young children and families. We encourage others to do the same and stay engaged with those elected officials we already know. We encourage families, providers and anyone with a stake in high-quality early care and education to get involved. Advocates are people that care passionately about an issue and take action to create meaningful change. Advocating for accessible, affordable and quality child care policies and programs means brighter futures for children and economic stability for working families.
