Our Story

The gradual evolution of the Child Development Industry has now reached an inflection point from which we, working together, can positively impact children, families, staff professionals, communities and the world. For decades, the Child Development Industry associations, suppliers, child activity centers (sports, arts, education) and educators have consistently improved their services. The TRUE HEROES are YOU, our IACDP members.

Child Activity Centers

Our industry CHILD ACTIVITY CENTERS have grown in the scope of their programming, in their business operations, and in the quality of their services. Business owners and their management teams have created an ecosphere of vital and valuable organizations globally. Working together globally across the sports, arts, and education fields will reinforce best practices.

Suppliers

Our industry SUPPLIERS have matured into sophisticated providers of an array of services and products, including equipment, insurance, business management software, financial services, instructor education and much more. Working together, suppliers can further enhance their value to the industry.

Associations

Our industry ASSOCIATIONS have striven to keep up with all of the changes in the operating environment, which has been a real challenge in recent years. Their goal is to remain relevant by delivering quality services and communication to their specific sport, art or education industry segment and/or country. Working together, associations can further enhance their value to the industry.
