Have you wondered how you can help support our association? We don't collect dues, but we do accept donations. We are a 501(c)3 organization and your contributions are tax deductible.

 

Provider Appreciation Day is May 10.

We are South Dakota's statewide volunteer association of family child care providers and group home providers whose mission is to empower family child care professionals and achieve high quality care for all South Dakota children.
 
If you care for children in your home who are unrelated to you, you are a family child care provider. This is an association of people who are doing what you do, every day. We support new providers who are looking for ideas and offer avenues for experienced providers to share their tips and help pave the path to professionalism.
