"all children deserve high qualITY daycare"
why Family Childcare is a Good Choice for Your Child
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 (ECE)
Family child care providers play a crucial role in early childhood education, offering high-quality, personalized care and educational experiences in a home setting. These dedicated professionals hold themselves to the same high standards as any early childhood educator, ensuring children receive the nurturing environment and developmental support they need to thrive. This testimony highlights the personal and impactful nature of family child care.
HOw You can help advocate for family childcare
🗓️ Join Us the 1st Saturday of the month. Your voice matters. Your presence matters.
Family daycare is the foundation of early childhood education for thousands of working families—but providers are still fighting for fair recognition, compensation, and support. Lawmakers need to hear directly from their communities that family child care is essential and must be prioritized in policy and funding decisions.
Your voice matters. Here’s how you can make a difference:
✍️ Write a Letter to Elected Officials
Let your representatives know how vital family daycare is to your community. Share your story, speak up for equitable pay and resources, and urge them to support policies that uplift home-based providers.
➡️ Tip: Personal letters and emails are powerful. Mention your city, how family daycare impacts your daily life, and what changes are urgently needed.
📚 Research & Resources
Stay informed on issues affecting family child care—like staffing shortages, subsidy rates, zoning laws, and health regulations. Use reliable sources to deepen your understanding and back up your advocacy with facts.
➡️ Explore: Local policy briefs, national child care coalitions, webinars, and community data reports.
📰 Engage Your Local Media
Stories change hearts—and policies. Write a letter to the editor, pitch your story to a local reporter, or use social media to amplify provider voices. The more people understand the realities of family daycare, the stronger our collective advocacy becomes.
➡️ Highlight: Real-life challenges, success stories, and the critical role of providers in your neighborhood.
💬 Remember:
Advocacy isn’t a one-time action—it’s a movement. Whether you're a provider, parent, ally, or policymaker, your engagement helps build a future where family daycare is valued, visible, and funded.
