NRV Child Care Summit Series

About

The NRV Child Care Summit Series is led by Virginia Tech in partnership with the Community Foundation of the NRV. 

This series is an opportunity to share information about the state of child care in the NRV, highlight creative ways that employers have supported the child care industry, and share ideas for short and long-term investments of time and talent to stabilize and grow the sector. 

If you have questions or would like to learn more about the Summit Series contact Kim Thomason and Jessica Wirgau.

Summit Series

Thank you for your interest in this important priority for the New River Valley.

After careful consideration, the 2026 NRV Child Care Summit is being rescheduled for the fall to better accommodate participants who have reported scheduling conflicts.

An updated day and time will be announced as soon as possible. We hope you will be able to join us for the rescheduled event as we work together to strengthen our regional childcare providers.
