The Alameda Professional Child Care Association (APCCA) is more than a non profit organization; we're a community. Founded by a group of home-based child care professionals who saw the need for a support network in our industry, APCCA has grown into a vibrant association dedicated to the success and well-being of both the children we care for and the professionals who provide that care.
From humble beginnings, APCCA has been founded by Marva Lyons and Kay Paasche in 1999 with just a few members meeting in a local community center, to a comprehensive association serving the entire Bay Area, CA region, our journey has been one of growth, learning, and advocacy. We've celebrated milestones, tackled challenges, and, most importantly, made a lasting impact on the lives of countless children and families.
As a member of APCCA, you gain access to a wide range of benefits including professional development opportunities, networking events, resource materials, advocacy support, and exclusive member discounts on workshops and certifications. Our goal is to support your growth and success in the child care field.
