Why Choose Family Child Care?
FCC Provider
Family Child Care is conveniently available.
Because family child care is so unique the type of care available is very diverse and may more closely match the child's home environment.
The foundation of family child care is relationships. Relationships between parent and providers, providers and the children and the children with each other. Family child care fosters emotionally secure interpersonal relationships with all families involved in care.
Family child care providers care for multi-aged groups of children allowing children to remain with one caregiver for many years. This develops trust and security in children.
In multi-aged settings, siblings are able to stay together and learn from one another.
Family child care providers can offer parents more flexibility with hours of operation such as including odd hour care, evening, weekend and/or overnight care.
Infant care tends to be more readily available in family child care programs and the benefits of this form of care are tremendously advantageous to very young children.
As many children remain in family child care when they begin school, before and after school care is also generally available within the same early care program.
