For Providers

You’re essential to our community’s future.

High-quality childcare depends on dedicated providers. Yet you face real challenges: limited funding, long waitlists, staffing shortages, and the pressure of meeting families’ needs without enough support. It’s hard to sustain your work when the system isn’t built to support you.

You deserve accessible resources, professional growth, and a community that recognizes the value of what you do.

Images from our provider gatherings.

WRELC is here to support and strengthen your impact.

We partner with early educators, informal caregivers, and emerging providers to:

  • Expand licensed capacity and help new centers build strong foundations

  • Offer professional development through gatherings, workshops, and peer support

  • Collaborate with Far + Wise to build a local talent pipeline and spark interest in early learning careers

  • Equip informal caregivers with Early Learning Kits that improve daily learning at home

  • Provide guidance and tools that make high-quality care more sustainable

Ways to get support and get involved.

  • Join our Provider Network to access resources, training, and peer community

  • Attend a Provider Gathering for shared learning and professional support

  • Request Early Learning Kits for the families you serve

  • Partner with WRELC to mentor new providers or shape the next generation of early educators

You’re not doing this work alone. We’re building a stronger, more supported early learning ecosystem with you at the center.
