🌟 Thank You for Making the FCCANYS 50th Annual Conference a Huge Success!

The Family Child Care Association of New York State's 50th Annual Conference in Oswego was one to remember! We laughed, learned, danced, and celebrated five decades of dedication, leadership, and community in Family Child Care.

From hands-on workshops and inspiring keynotes to the high-energy drumming session with Mike Veny, our time together was filled with connection and creativity. And of course, our Friday Night 70's Party was far out! Bell bottoms, disco lights, and lots of laughter made for a groovy good time as we celebrated FCCANYS' incredible journey since 1975.

💬 What Attendees Said

Our post-conference evaluations tell the story best:

• "All of the sessions were great & met my needs."
• "I went home with takeaways from every session, and an Amazon cart full of new supplies!"
• "The party was amazing, such a fun way to celebrate 50 years!"
• "Excellent presenters, especially Mike Veny, Jessica Dean, and Jeannine Fitzgerald."

Overwhelmingly, attendees said they left feeling energized, inspired, and connected — and eager to bring new ideas and techniques back to their programs.
