“Being part of a professional organization takes my business to the next level of professionalism, imparting onto my clients (past, present, and potential) that I take what I do seriously, gives them faith that I will be reliable and trustworthy, and instils the extra vote of confidence that they are making the right decision in choosing me. Having access to workshops and conferences, staying abreast of changes in my profession as well as having a collective voice through the BCFCCA as my speaker when decisions are being made on behalf of the child care industry makes me feel heard and the child care industry is being fairly represented. Receiving the newsletters keeps me motivated, inspired and engaged in the career I’ve chosen and having these fresh perspectives from those articles also gives new ideas for recipes, arts and crafts and the like, keep things exciting”
