Empowering Educators. Strengthening Families. Transforming Communities.

Welcome to the Massachusetts Alliance for Family Child Cares

Family child care is essential to the strength and stability of Massachusetts communities. Yet many educators operate without adequate support, visibility, or resources. MAFCCS exists to change that. Massachusetts Alliance for Family Child Cares (MAFCCS) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Donations are tax-deductible.
