Research consistently demonstrates that young children thrive in warm, loving, and home-like settings. Family childcare is a popular choice for many families because it offers the safety and comfort of a home environment while ensuring that a child receives care from a consistent caregiver/educator over the years.
The family daycare home setting created in family childcare homes is especially beneficial for younger children and families with multiple preschool aged children. When you see the WSC member indicator, it signifies a family childcare program that offers secure and inviting spaces, alongside warm and nurturing care. These spaces are designed with educational activities that cater to the unique needs and interests of every child while promoting individual development.
One of the key benefits of family childcare is the presence of a consistent caregiver. In a family childcare home, children are cared for by the same caregiver regularly. This consistency fosters strong bonds between children and their caregiver, which, in turn, positively impacts their social and emotional development.
Family childcare homes often cater to children of various ages, creating a mixed-age group. This setup offers children the opportunity to learn from and interact with peers who are at different stages of development, further enhancing their overall growth and learning experiences.
Family child care providers are early childhood educators. They provide high-quality early education and child development services in a home setting, and are expected to have the same education level as other early childhood educators.
We need to ensure state and federal lawmakers hear loud and clear that childcare and early learning must be a top priority with significant, sustained funding in the upcoming reconciliation package. This is a make-or-break moment, and we need you to use your voice to help advocate for family childcare.
Your support and contributions will enable us to meet our goals and fund our mission.
