Family Child Care Homes

Family Child Care Homes are small-scale childcare settings where a provider cares for children in their own residence, typically caring for a few children at a time. They offer a home-like environment with personalized attention, often serving mixed-age groups. These homes are regulated by state or local authorities to ensure safety, cleanliness, and appropriate caregiver-to-child ratios. Family Child Care Homes provide a flexible and nurturing alternative to larger daycare centers, supporting children's developmental needs while allowing parents to choose more intimate, community-based care options.
