Our mission is to advance the quality of early education and child development by empowering parents, educating childcare professionals, and collaborating with our communities.


  • Learning doesn’t start at kindergarten, it starts at birth. That is why programs that provide early care and education services play such an important role in the growth and development of young children.

    Early care and education is defined as ANY program providing care for children birth to age 6. Examples of these programs include center-based child care, family child care, Head Start, Early Head Start, private and public preschools, Montessori programs, and Pre-kindergarten services.

    Child Care Connection works to increase the quality, availability and affordability of early education services in South Central Alaska. We have three goals…

  • Supporting families to raise healthy children and find quality child care
  • Improving the quality of early care and education programs
  • Increasing community investments in early childhood education
