Whether you are a brand new licensed provider or one who is experienced, PPRFCCA is an organization that works for you. We have been helping licensed family child care providers in the Colorado Springs area  for 40 years.

There are so many benefits available to you, as you can see below. Priceless among them would be the support and mentorship that belonging to a professional organization can provide. Many of our members have over 10 years in the field and some have more than 25 years of experience to share. They offer their years of knowledge in hopes that it will help you in any of the areas that you may have questions or problems.

Look over the benefit list below. Be sure to check out all the pages of this website. If you have questions contact Barb at PPRFCCA Info. And remember that your annual membership fee is 100% tax deductible.

If you are not a member but come to PPRFCCA meetings 3 times a year, it would be financially beneficial for you to join PPRFCCA. Non-members pay $10, cash, per meeting - PPRFCCA membership is $25 per year = 6 meetings. Do the math, ladies!
