The Association for Supportive Child Care (ASCC) is thrilled to announce their long-awaited rebrand as Candelen.

For more than four decades, ASCC has been at the forefront of innovative educational programs that nurture children to be their most brilliant selves. The company has embraced the rapid evolution of caregivers’ needs, and the result is a refreshed, modernized organization with promise to continue providing improved education and the best care possible.

Four years after the Equal Opportunity Act was passed, the Association for Supportive Child Care was born in order to help working Arizona mothers find child care. Over these 45 years, we have grown and evolved to not only help find child care for working families, but also to build programs and systems that optimize the quality of care and education. With the evolution of purpose and mission comes the need for a new brand. A brand that communicates our vision to create a world where all children have the essentials they need to succeed so that they can achieve the brightest outlook possible.
