UNWAVERING COMMITMENT TO
PROVIDING EXCEPTIONAL EARLY FAMILY CHILD-CARE SERVICES.
The Family Child Care Network (FCCN) offers specialized programs for infants, toddlers, and 3-K children in the comforting environment of licensed and qualified home-based child care providers. These programs cater to mixed-age groups, encompassing children from birth to twelve years old.
Aligned with the standards set by center-based and district school 3-K programs, the FCCN programs operate under the supervision of the Department of Education and a Family Child Care Network organization. This partnership ensures that providers receive essential instructional resources, coaching, and comprehensive family support.
Enrolling children in Family Child Care homes offers several unique advantages for families:
Children can build strong and lasting relationships with their caregivers as they remain in the same program from infancy to their pre-teen years.
Children benefit from interacting with peers of varying ages, including siblings, within a mixed-age setting. This diverse social dynamic promotes valuable learning experiences.
Starting their early education in a familiar setting allows for a seamless transition to center- or school-based pre-K programs. Alternatively, families can choose to continue with their trusted provider in an after-school setting if it aligns with their preferences.
FCC programs recognize the diverse needs of families and offer longer program hours to accommodate work or school schedules. This flexibility ensures that children receive the care and education they need while parents can attend to their commitments.
FCC programs are often conveniently located near the family's residence, workplace, or school, making it easier for parents to drop off and pick up their children.
Families may find that FCC programs best reflect their language and cultural background. Like center- and school-based programs, FCC programs promote a nurturing environment where children can learn, grow, and explore the world around them. Providers utilize DOE-approved curriculum and receive ongoing professional learning and coaching to deliver high-quality, play-based instruction.
By choosing a Family Child care Network (FCCN), families gain access to a network of trusted providers who offer exceptional care and educational experiences. These programs prioritize the holistic development of children, providing a solid foundation for their future growth and success.
