How It All Started

In the early 1980s, a small group of licensed providers in Douglas County, Colorado started a coffee clutch to provide a support system for each other. As the number of licensed providers in Douglas County increased, the providers decided to form the Douglas County Child Care Association (DCCCA) in 1984. That same year, DCCCA was officially formed. It is amazing that something as simple as a coffee clutch among 4-5 people can lead to an association that has had membership as high as 150.
