Programa de Cuidado de Niños

Un cuidador familiar de niños (FCC), también denominado cuidador familiar de niños en grupo (GFCC), es un profesional registrado que gestiona un servicio independiente de cuidado de niños desde su propia casa.

Estos servicios atienden a niños desde el nacimiento hasta los 12 años. Un proveedor de FCC/GFCC no solo garantiza la seguridad y el cuidado, sino que también comprende el papel fundamental de brindar educación infantil de alta calidad, particularmente durante los primeros tres años fundamentales de un niño.

¿Está pensando en poner en marcha un programa de Cuidado Infantil Familiar en su propio hogar? Su viaje comienza con la programación de una cita para hablar con un especialista en Cuidado Infantil Familiar en PS Family.

Aportamos valiosos conocimientos y orientación para convertir su visión en una realidad enriquecedora.
