The Maryland State Child Care Association (MSCCA) is the professional association for licensed child care and early learning centers operating in Maryland and for associated businesses and individuals that support the mission of the Association. Our members are committed to providing the highest levels of nurture and academic, social, and physical development in safe and secure environments for the children entrusted to their care. We truly believe that we care for Maryland’s most important natural resource – its children.

As a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) trade association of child care centers, MSCCA provides professional development for the staff of member centers and educational outreach to the general public on matters related to professional child care. MSCCA is actively engaged in the public arena to ensure that the laws and regulations governing our members are consistent with quality care for the children and affordability for their parents and care givers. Our Chapters in regions across Maryland provide our members with information, resources, and networking immediately accessible on a local basis.

MSCCA is the official state affiliate of the National Child Care Association, and we participate actively with a variety of other organizations that share our members’ commitment to high quality, affordable child care and early learning.
