Dear Family Child Care Educators,
I want to take a moment to personally thank you for the essential work you do every day. As early childhood educators and caregivers, you are the heart of our communities, shaping young minds and supporting working families with care, compassion, and consistency.
At the Family Child Care Network (FCCN), we are proud to stand beside you as partners in this important work. Our mission is to ensure that you—our family child care educators—are fully supported, empowered, and connected.
The FCCN exists to provide access to professional development, business supports, health and safety resources, and a strong sense of community among providers. We know that running a home-based program can sometimes feel isolating, which is why FCCN offers opportunities for you to connect with peers, share strategies, and build leadership—all while maintaining the warmth and personalized care that make family child care so unique.
By participating in the network, you gain access to:
- Training and workshops designed specifically for family child care environments
- One-on-one coaching and mentorship
- Language accessibility- translation in Arabic and Spanish
- Support with licensing, compliance, and quality improvement
- Business tools and resources to help your program thrive
- Advocacy and leadership opportunities to amplify your voice and experience
Your dedication inspires us, and FCCN is here to ensure you don’t walk this journey alone. Together, we are building a more supportive, equitable, and high-quality early learning system—one that values and uplifts family child care as the critical foundation it is.
Thank you for being a part of this movement. We are honored to serve and support you.
With Gratitude,
Najwa Dahdah, M.A.
