Leadership for Family Child Care: The Promise of Staffed Family Child Care Networks. Research Notes
McCormick Center for Early Childhood Leadership at National Louis University
The number of family child care (FCC) providers in the U.S. is declining at an alarming rate. From 2011 to 2017, there was a 35% decrease in FCC homes (National Center on Early Childhood Quality Assurance, 2019). Considering the substantial portion of child care that is represented in home-based child care (HBCC), a heightened level of concern is warranted and more research is needed. One approach for supporting FCC providers is through staffed family child care networks (SFCCNs). Juliet Bromer and Toni Porter recently published Mapping the Family Child Care Network Landscape: Findings from the National Study of Family Child Care Networks (2019). The report provides findings about the organizational characteristics, services offered to family child care providers, staffing and supervision, and evaluation/quality assessment of SFCCNs. This article summarizes the methodology and results from the study and discusses implications of the findings.
