New Page 1	Champions for Quality Care & Education “To support each other as child care administrators in providing quality programming for Wisconsin’s families.” What is WCCAA? The Wisconsin Child Care Administrators Association (WCCAA) began in the spring of 1976 and hosted its first conference in 1979. A need for an organization committed to the promotion of excellence in child care administration is our ongoing motivation. WCCAA is active at local, regional, state, and national levels. WCCAA is represented on many advisory committees and boards and provides quality trainings throughout the year, including a statewide conference held in February.
