Together We Do Great Things

What is a Center Plus Membership?

GCCA has created a cost-effective bundle price for both center membership AND individual teacher membership for up to 50 center staff. We've created this plan to help owners support their staff obtain access to GCCA membership in order to meet the CDA requirement of membership to a professional organization. Center Plus Membership affords both centers and teachers access to GCCA offerings.

What does a Center Plus Membership cost?

A center plus membership is $499 per year. Since we're here to help you, your membership will automatically renew once it expires so you don't have to worry about missing out-you will also be enrolled in AutoPay to pay that renewal!

Strong Partnerships Help Child Care Businesses Grow

The Georgia Child Care Association (GCCA) helps child care owners run strong and successful programs. One way we do this is by connecting our members with trusted businesses and community partners who understand the child care industry.

Our Industry Partners provide helpful services, tools, and guidance. They know the real challenges child care leaders face every day. These partners support our members as they work to grow their programs, care for children, and serve families across Georgia.

When child care businesses have the right support, they are stronger. And when child care is strong, Georgia’s children, families, and workforce all benefit.

Why GCCA Industry Partners Matter

GCCA has built relationships with organizations that are experienced, reliable, and committed to helping child care programs succeed.

Our Industry Partner Program gives members one trusted place to find support for:

Business services like payroll, insurance, and finances
Classroom supplies and operational tools
Technology and training
Workforce and community resources

We encourage members to connect with GCCA partners first when they need help. With many types of partners across the state, members can feel confident they will find the support they need.

This program is about more than selling products.

It is about building real relationships that help child care businesses grow and stay strong.

Partnership Levels

GCCA offers three partnership levels so organizations can choose how they want to engage:

Industry Partner – A starting level focused on connection and visibility
Preferred Partner – A higher level with more chances to engage with members
Premier Partner – A leadership level with strong recognition and statewide exposure

Each level gives partners meaningful ways to connect with child care leaders and support the future of early learning in Georgia.

Working Together for Georgia’s Children

When businesses and community groups partner with GCCA, they are investing in the success of child care.

Together, we can strengthen programs, support families, and build a stronger workforce for our state.

Strong partnerships create strong child care. And strong child care builds strong communities.
