Family childcare providers also have the right to refuse to join or participate in the activities of provider organizations. This article does not change the rights of family childcare providers to represent themselves individually in their relations with the state, agencies or departments of the state, contractors of the state, parents, or others, or their rights to speak to and petition the government with respect to all aspects of the state’s early care and education program or any other topic.
