Member Benefits

MCCA is a statewide membership organization representing licensed child care centers throughout Minnesota.  Our committed staff and volunteers work to educate state and federal officials on the promise and challenges of the child care industry.  We are the voice detailing impacts that regulations, public funding, and tax structures have on centers’ ability to provide quality child care for Minnesota’s youngest learners and the families that depend on it.  Simply put, MCCA exists to support your business and the families you serve. 

MCCA accepts membership applications on a rolling basis. Benefits of membership include:

• Member rates for MCCA events

• Regular Member Updates and Legislative Updates throughout the year (make sure admin@minnesotachildcareassociation.org is whitelisted in your email system, so you don't miss out!)
