Mission Statement
The 4-C mission is to promote children's well-being by advocating for quality, affordable, accessible child care. We support families and those providing child care by offering information, education, resources and services.

Vision Statement
The 4-C vision is that all children will be nurtured in healthy, supportive environments, growing to become contributing members of their communities and capable of nurturing children.

Advocacy for Children and Families
4-C advocates for children by monitoring legislation which affects them. We believe that engaging as many individuals as possible in fact-based advocacy is the best way to ensure budgets, laws, policies, services and practices to meet the needs of children and families in our communities. 4-C staff members make phone calls, send emails, write letters and when possible make appointments to meet with new legislators to introduce themselves and share hopes and concerns for young children and families. We encourage others to do the same and stay engaged with those elected officials we already know. We encourage families, providers and anyone with a stake in high-quality early care and education to get involved. Advocates are people that care passionately about an issue and take action to create meaningful change. Advocating for accessible, affordable and quality child care policies and programs means brighter futures for children and economic stability for working families.
