CHILD CARE RESOURCE & REFERRAL
Starting and Running a Family Child Care Program
Why should you become a family child care provider?
Becoming a child care provider can be enormously satisfying. Seeing a child's smile and realizing that you've made a difference in her life, is one of the best feelings in the world. That one little smile can make it all worthwhile. Helping children grow and reach their fullest potential not only contributes to that child's well being, but also to society. Children who have positive early childhood experiences are better prepared for school, college and work. Also, by becoming a family child care provider, you can stay home with your own children and still earn income.
