Childcare providers are the unsung heroes of childhood. With the majority of parents in the workforce, they are a significant link in the economic and social well being of our society. Caring for young children in a responsible and responsive manner demands many skills and abilities- compassion, knowledge, organization, and patience.

In recognition of the necessity of high quality childcare, there are many educational and government organizations which support childcare providers.
