Provider Events

Our provider meetups happen the second Tuesday of every month. This is a safe space for you to vent, share stories, ask questions, get advice, or just relax with friends.

All child care providers are welcome, though many of us provide family child care.

Chippewa Valley Village – Monthly Handbook Walk-Through Series

Chippewa Valley Village is a support group for home-based child care providers, built on connection, collaboration, and shared growth.

📅 We meet the 2nd Tuesday of every month.

Throughout the year, we will walk through every aspect of a provider handbook, one section at a time. Each month will focus on a different area, with space for discussion, reflection, and shared insight.

This series will:

  • Clarify what is required for regulation

  • Explore what you may choose to include to support your program

  • Offer examples and ideas without pressure or judgment

✨ This is not about telling providers what they should or should not include.
Your handbook is your choice, and decisions about policies are always left to you as the provider.

Our conversations will center on:

  • Understanding requirements so you feel confident and compliant

  • Exploring optional policies that may support clarity, boundaries, and communication

  • Helping you align your handbook with your values, philosophy, and program needs

This series is designed for providers who are:

  • Creating a handbook for the first time

  • Revising or updating an existing handbook

  • Wanting greater confidence in how their handbook supports their work

Each gathering will be a supportive, judgment-free space for questions, conversation, and shared learning. You do not need a completed handbook to participate—just a willingness to learn and reflect.

📌 Bring your handbook, notes, questions—or simply come to listen.

By the end of the year, all aspects of the handbook will have been walked through, leaving you with greater clarity and confidence in your program documentation.

We look forward to learning and growing together as a village.

Agenda:

6:00 - Meet and order food (each pay for their own meal)

6:30 - Discuss topic/presenter: Fee Payments and Refunds

7:00 - Continued conversation and connections with other professionals in the field!
