Family child care

Family child care is a type of early childhood education where a provider offers care and learning activities for children in their own home, typically caring for a small group of children. It provides a more personal, home-like environment compared to larger daycare centers, often with flexible hours. This setting is regulated by state or local authorities to ensure safety and quality standards. It’s suitable for working parents seeking a comfortable, dedicated space for their children that encourages socialization and development within a family-style atmosphere.
