The Multicultural Spanish Speaking Providers Association (MSSPA) is a professional membership association comprised of early childhood teachers, directors, and owners of child development centers and home-based programs in the District of Columbia.

Established as a non-profit 501(c)(3) in 2013, MSSPA works to identify and address systemic barriers impacting early childhood education providers of Latin American and Caribbean origin in DC. With a mission to promote labor, language, and education justice, MSSPA supports over 1,500 educators, mostly women of low to moderate income, enhancing educational access, promoting entrepreneurship, and addressing professional needs in DC's early learning sector.

With a commitment to equity, advocacy, and community, MSSPA is transforming the early childhood education landscape in the District of Columbia. Our approach is guided by the needs and experiences of Latina and Amharic-speaking educators and providers, and we're dedicated to creating a more just and inclusive system for all.
