Each year, the Texas Child Care Administrators Conference brings together dedicated professionals and leaders who are ready to learn, connect, and lead with purpose. This year’s theme, Step Right Up, is a call to step into the moment with confidence and courage—even when the path ahead isn’t fully clear. Leadership often means showing up before you have all the answers, trusting your experience, values, and community to guide you forward. Whether you are navigating change, supporting your team, or advocating for children and families, you already have what you need to lead with intention and impact. Together, we step up for one another, for the children in our care, and for the future of Texas families.
