About this conference
Child Care Aware® of America invites early care and education professionals, Child Care Resource and Referral (CCR&R) organizations, state and community leaders, policymakers, advocates, and allies from across the nation to come together for the premier event shaping the future of child care: our annual Symposium. This event is where ideas spark, partnerships form, and inspiration grows. Over three energizing days, attendees will dive into the big issues and bold opportunities defining the child care landscape—from policy and advocacy to practice and innovation. Through dynamic sessions, cutting-edge research, and powerful conversations, attendees will gain new insights, fresh strategies, and a renewed sense of purpose. An Advocacy Day provides an opportunity to meet and speak with Congressional leaders about pressing child care issues. The Symposium aims to lift up the critical child care system, celebrate its workforce, and drive solutions that ensure every child has access to quality, affordable care.
