Last night, ADFW Family Child Care Network hosted a child care dinner with local child care owners, directors, and staff at El Primo's Mansfield, Texas. We came together to celebrate Women’s History Month, share accomplishments, and highlight the wins happening across our community.

It was more than just a dinner, it was a reminder of the sisterhood that exists within family child care. A space where we uplift one another, support each other through challenges, and celebrate each other’s growth. When women come together like this, we build not only stronger businesses, but stronger communities.

Join us for our next North Texas Child Care Meet Up on April 30 at 7:00 PM in Fort Worth, Texas. Stay tuned for details and registration.
