WHAT WE PROVIDE FOR THE PEOPLE WHO PROVIDE CARE

Workforce Empowerment & Support

Describes HR tools, benefits, and compliance help in plain terms.

We help childcare providers and organizations build strong, people-first workplaces. From talent sourcing to leadership coaching, our HR services are designed to reduce stress, strengthen teams, and create environments where both employees and children can thrive.

ABOUT US

Why NCAF Exists

The National Childcare Alliance Foundation (NCAF) addresses retention head-on by: 

  • Offering benefits and financial stability tools (health care reimbursement, retirement, profit-sharing). 
  • Transforming Workplaces Through Innovative HR Solution
  • Building a career development pipeline with training, certification, and leadership tracks. 
  • Advocating for policy changes that align childcare compensation with its true societal value. 
  • Creating a national job and support network for childcare staff and providers. 

The Days of ‘Babysitting’ are gone! Our goal is to support childcare service as a respected, rewarding, and sustainable profession — so staff stay, families thrive, and children grow in stable, nurturing environments.
