Family Child Care Program Option
Family Child Care (FCC) is a program option where services are provided to children in a licensed family child care home. The small group size and home setting provide a nurturing, warm learning environment for infants and toddlers. EHS programs may choose to hire FCC providers as staff or contract with them. These partnerships offer many benefits to the program, children, families, providers, and community.
