Family Fun Day is coming up, and we would love to see you there!

Family childcare providers are welcome and encouraged to attend with their families. This is a great opportunity for meaningful family engagement, and we'll provide a post-event survey for your records to help meet Kentucky All STARS requirements.

Did you know? The Family Fun Center is also available to our family child care providers in the Eastern Mountain and Cumberland regions. You can schedule your own family engagement event right in the space. To get started, contact Alisha at [email protected].

Come join the fun, make memories, and strengthen those family connections 💛
