Our Mission

All Our Kin is a nationally recognized nonprofit organization that trains, supports, and sustains family child care educators—transforming opportunities by ensuring that children and families have the foundation they need to succeed in school and in life. Through our programs, child care professionals succeed as businesspeople; parents—aided by access to stable, high-quality early care and education—thrive within the workforce; and above all, children gain the educational foundation that lays the groundwork for achievement in school and beyond. 

For 20 years, All Our Kin has served the family child care networks of Connecticut and New York City, growing to serve over 1,100 educators who in turn care for nearly 5,500 children from the most overburdened, under-resourced communities. In addition to growing our impact through direct replication, we engage with hundreds more practitioners each year through our technical assistance initiative, wherein we partner with local organizations across the country to strengthen their engagement and practice with family child care educators.
