Differentiate your headline and subhead. They look like the same heading. Child-care is hyphenated. Check AP style on Baltimore and Maryland especially regarding comma placement. Titles are only capitalized when they are formal and directly in front of a person's name. Write the acronym NAFCC in parentheses after the first reference. The second to last paragraph seems redundant and as such isn't necessary.
