Today is bittersweet! After 11 years with Child Care Network, including 10 years serving as Chief Executive Officer, Annette Sobocinski has announced that she is beginning a new chapter in her career and her last day with Child Care Network will be Friday, July 31, 2026.

We are incredibly grateful for her leadership, vision, and dedication to our mission. To say we will miss Annette is an understatement but we celebrate the contributions and impact she has made on each of us and Child Care Network.

As we move forward, our commitment to our mission remains strong, and we are excited for the opportunities ahead. You can learn more about the CEO position by visiting https://www.childcarenetwork.org/join-our-team
