This Child Development Associate training module explores the multifaceted aspects of family child care, including zoning, certification, insurance, hours of care, fees, advertising, programming, and parent/provider agreements. The module's purpose is to help individuals interested in a career in family child care understand the CDA requirements and develop skills to meet them. Following an introduction, the guide lists objectives and provides a space to record the assessment date and activities to meet the objective. The objectives of the module are to: (1) demonstrate an understanding of the family child care provider's role and the qualities needed to be a professional family child care provider; (2) demonstrate knowledge of and compliance with licensing and/or certification requirements, if applicable; (3) understand the importance of insurance and obtain appropriate insurance; (4) demonstrate knowledge of the components of a business plan and develop a business plan; (5) discuss the importance of parent/provider agreements and how they enhance parent/provider relations; and (6) create an Implementation Plan, stating how the skills and information gained through completing this module will be incorporated into ongoing teaching. The next section, "Study Guide," comprises the bulk of the guide and details needed information and suggested activities to attain each of the objectives. The final section, "Supplements," provides a self-evaluation form, self-certification checklist, projected income/expenses form, a sample budget, and a sample provider/parent agreement. (KDFB)
