Our Union

Child care providers from around Kansas have come together to build a union and offer a powerful voice for child care providers across the state.

Child Care Providers Together - AFSCME represents thousands of providers who advocate improving the quality of child care services through legislative action and increased membership.  Every day CCPT members are hard at work growing membership in their home towns and talking to their elected officials about the issues of utmost importance to Kansas child care providers.

Child Care Providers Together - AFSCME's actions have won an agreement with the Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) and the Department of Social and Rehabilitative Services (SRS) that recognizes the vital importance of the quality child care services we provide to working families across the state.

Our agreement with KDHE and SRS reflects our collective voice and growing power to protect the interests of child care providers and make a real difference in the lives of the families we serve.

*(Kansas CCPT-AFSCME is now officially affiliated with AFSCME Council 72, which covers the states of Kansas and Missouri).
