About Us

West Suburban Home Day Care Association is an association of independent home-based child-care providers serving families in the near-west suburbs and west-side Chicago neighborhoods.

Who We Are

WSHDCA supports professional family child care and promotes it as a valuable community resource. The association serves both families seeking child care and providers committed to offering quality home-based care.

Our History

WSHDCA was established over 35 years ago by a small group of women dedicated to providing high-quality home-based daycare. Since then, the association has continued to grow and evolve in response to the needs of children, families, and providers in the communities it serves.

Our Mission

Our mission is to support independent home-based child-care providers, advocate for professional family child care, and help families connect with care in their local communities.
