Child Care Advocates of Kentucky

Child Care Advocates of Kentucky The unified voice for child care centers in Kentucky, CCAK works to improve Kentucky's Child Care Ask What none of us knew was how drastic the changes would be.

Everyone who owned a licensed child care center could see that changes to the state’s Child Care Assistance Program (CCAP) were imminent throughout 2012. In light of these dark times, a group of licensed owners forged together to create a unified voice - Child Care Advocates of Kentucky. Our main objective is to save the CCAP program. Our group has worked tirelessly since that cold day in February when the cuts were announced. Taking steps forward we have had several letters and interviews printed in the Courier-Journal and Lexington Herald newspapers. In addition to print media we are proud to see many of our members speaking out with local news agencies to show the impact for our center’s children, parents, and employees. Our group hosted an “F” Report Card Rally in Frankfort with pre-school children that caught attention from several news stations in the Louisville/Lexington area and gave local officials a chance to see the faces of the most precious group affected by the “budget saving” shenanigans. Later in the year we participated as a partner organization in the most recent “Rain-rain Go Away Rally” held at the state Capitol Rotunda. Our members and associates have given testimony at numerous meetings held by the General Assembly and presented comments to the Cabinet at public meetings.
