Make an In-kind Donation

From time to time, ACPN has donated items that childcare providers can use. Please consider donating supplies, furniture, toys, play structures, and other items that can be useful to childcare providers. We itemize all donated items on a list only ACPN members can request. Fulfilling requests are made on a first-come, first-serve basis. 

A Word from Our Owner

I have been an activist for our young children's quality care and education for the past 15 years. I began my career as the owner of Channing's Childcare Homecare. I am now the Owner/Director of Channing's Childcare Academy, President of Austin Childcare Providers Network with a membership of 120 small businesses. I serve as a board member of Goodcity and Austin Coming Together and as the interim President of Alliance for Quality Childcare.


Their environment shapes young children. They need caring relationships, safe homes and neighborhoods, and opportunities to learn. In Austin, community leaders are coming together to ensure that all children have the supports they need to thrive. Schools and childcare businesses are being transformed into vibrant learning centers; parents build supportive home environments, and neighbors are fostering safe communities.
