About Our Founder
Yvonne Roberson-Choyce
CEO - Providers Need Care
Yvonne Choyce has over forty years as an accomplished business owner, choosing to simply highlight her most
gratifying role to date, her twenty plus years as a childcare provider which led to many crucial positions beyond
nurturing and caring for young children. Such as her role as an active mentor, providing business training and
counseling to women in their startups, and/or existing childcare businesses. Her dedication to early childhood
development has also led Yvonne to author a library of children's books and create invaluable resources and
programs, for under-resourced communities and educators, ensuring that children receive the support they need
to thrive.
Yvonne’s vision to launch Providers Needs Care was inspired by her passion for community outreach and strong
determination to highlight the importance of childcare providers as essential workers within their communities
and their need for self-care. This became the driving force to form a dynamic team of highly skilled and experienced
professionals who share her vision. Together, they aim to foster a sense of unity and collaboration within the PNC
network and take collective actions to bring recognition and support to FHCC providers and the communities they
serve. This initiative embodies Yvonne’s unwavering commitment to raising awareness and making a positive
impact in and beyond her community.
