WHO WE ARE
ABOUT US
AFSCME Child Care Providers Together is the union for Oregon’s family child care providers. We know Oregon doesn’t work without child care and we connect families with union child care providers across Oregon. Families choose to find child care through AFSCME-CCPT because our member providers offer high-quality, developmentally appropriate, affordable care. When providers join us, they don’t just enjoy the benefits of joining a union — they join a network of union families across the state.
WHAT OUR MEMBERS SAY:
“I am Registered Family daycare which allows me to care for a maximum of 10 children. I am a member of Oregon Child Care Providers Together because it is smaller family child care homes that provide specialized and individualized care, who need to be supported so we can grow our business or feel supported as a business owner.”
- Rachael Lamet
“We call our program, not a daycare, not a business but our labor of love. Love is the main reason why we do what we do. Our goal is not only to be the child care providers but to be like a second family to our children. We joined the union because in difficult times we know they have our backs!”
- Ali & Brenda Sanz
“Our certified family facility provides 24/7 care for infants, toddlers, preschoolers and school-aged children. We work hard to meet families needs and the needs of the children we care for. The union provides many training sessions, free to our members, so we and our staff can meet our training requirements to remain licensed and to always be improving our quality of care.”
- Anita Bates & James Hunter
