From Strengthening Families:

DATE: June 16, 2010
TIME: 2:30 PM ET - 4:00 PM EST

Although approximately 22% of children under 6 who attend child care are in family child care settings, we know relatively little about the programs and providers that serve their families.

In 2009, the Center for the Study of Social Policy released the report, "Almost Like Family: Family Child Care," the culmination of a four-state study of family child care programs, their providers, the families that use them, and the systems that support them. The report focuses on the unique needs and challenges of family child care programs and providers, and explores how a Strengthening Families approach, centered on building Protective Factors with families, can benefit the children, parents, and providers in family child care.

This webinar will present the findings from the study and will introduce an adaptation of the Strengthening Families Self-Assessment for family child care homes. Staff from the National Center for Parents as Teachers will share their curriculum for home visitors working with family, friend, and neighbor child care providers, the newest edition of which incorporates the Protective Factors and the Self-Assessment for Family Child Care.
