About this listen

Childcare isn’t just about education—it’s the backbone of our workforce and economy. In this episode of The Business of Preschool Podcast, I sit down with Tim Kaminski, President of the Texas Licensed Child Care Association (TLCCA), to talk about the power of advocacy and why providers need to unite for meaningful change.

Tim shares how he transitioned from speech pathology into childcare, and what he’s learned about influencing policy, building relationships with lawmakers, and using the right messaging to make childcare a true business issue. We also dive into the role lobbyists play, why collaboration across states matters, and how profitability connects directly to sustainability in childcare.


If you’ve ever wondered how to get involved in advocacy or why it matters for your center’s future, this episode is packed with clarity, strategy, and inspiration to take action.
