Advisory Council

The Advisory Council is a group of 15 members composed of local Family Child Care (FCC) providers, stakeholders, and community members invested in the FCC community in the KC Metro area.

As advisory council members, they collaborate with the FCCN at Futures First to guide the mission and vision of the Network.

The FCCN advisory council provides the space to connect, brainstorm, and problem-solve together to support the Family Child Care Network.

Would you be interested in joining the Council?
