OUR FOCUS
 
TAFCC is a group of concerned and dedicated advocates, whose main focus is to ensure that child care specialists across Texas share a voice in the decisions that affect them, their businesses, and children in child care facilities across Texas.

OUR HISTORY
 
TAFCC is a young organization that originated in Granbury, Texas, on February 22, 1997. A group of sixty home child care providers across Texas met at Camp El Tesoro for a weekend leadership retreat. The annual event, known as "Jeans Jamboree" was sponsored by the First Texas Council of Camp Fire in Fort Worth.  Camp Fire provided an opportunity for a leadership forum.  These experienced providers networked ideas and information, that led to the formation of a new state association, now known as the Texas Association for Family Child Care (TAFCC).
 
One hundred twenty-five attendees participated in the first mini-workshop presented on July 26, 1997 in Fort Worth, Texas.  TAFCC has maintained momentum by presenting conferences across Texas, including the cities of Bedford, Lubbock, San Antonio, and Austin.

OUR GOALS
  • To promote and encourage professionalism.
