2026 CPOAM State of the Industry — Childcare in Michigan
Join childcare providers from across Michigan for a focused look at the current state of the industry — sustainability, staffing, capacity, and the real operational challenges providers are navigating in 2026. This event centers provider experience and offers practical tools and language you can use in conversations with families, partners, and community leaders.
Featured Conversation with Brian Calley Talking to Employers and Community Leaders About the Real Value of Your Childcare Program
This session will help providers communicate the workforce and economic impact of their programs, talk about sustainability and capacity in productive terms, address common misconceptions in business settings, and identify when partnerships with employers make sense — and when they don’t.
