FRANKLIN, Ind. - Bright Beginnings Coalition and the Johnson County Public Library (JCPL) are collaborating to host the Early Care and Education Provider Fair this spring.

It will take place on April 25 from 9 a.m. to noon at the JCPL Franklin Branch, 401 S. State St.   

The Provider Fair is designed to support local early care and education professionals by offering valuable professional development opportunities, resource sharing, networking, door prizes, giveaways, and more.

The event aims to strengthen connections among providers while equipping them with tools and information to serve Johnson County children and families.

The Johnson County Community Foundation (JCCF) launched the Bright Beginnings Early Care and Education Coalition in April 2025 in response to growing concerns about access, affordability, and quality in early childhood care.
