Staffing shortages. Enrollment pressure. Compliance demands. If this is your daily reality, you're not alone.

The ECE Executive Impact Cohort is built around the real challenges child care leaders face right now — not theory. Every session ends with tools and decisions you can implement in your program immediately.

Applications are open for Fall 2026. Register here: https://www.georgiachildcare.org/events/2026-fall-ece-executive-leadership-cohort

YOUR VOICE BELONGS AT THE TABLE.

GCCA is welcoming interest in our 2027 Board of Directors!

We are looking for child care leaders from across Georgia who care about our industry and want to help shape the future of GCCA.

You do not need past Board experience.

You do not need to know everything about advocacy or policy.

You DO need to bring your voice, your experience, and your commitment to Georgia child care.

We especially want a Board that reflects the diversity of our membership — small and large programs, single and multi-site organizations, rural and metro communities, and leaders from across our state.

Could 2027 be your year to lead?
