Abstract | Family home childcare providers play an important role in the delivery of essential childcare and in early learning. According to the 1999 U.S. Census, 30.7% of children under 5 years of age in non-parental care attend organized family home care (Child Care Bureau, 2001). In Washington State, 27% of children attend regulated family home childcare (Child Care Resources Washington, 2000). Yet, family home childcare providers seem to be absent from the discourse regarding quality early learning services. Providers report experiencing: isolation; a lack of respect from other early childhood professionals, parents, family, and community; low commitment to the profession; low self-worth; and a lack of empowerment (Gable & Halliburton, 2003; Taylor, Dunster, & Pollard, 1999). To counter these trends, the Support for Early Learning and Families (SELF) council initiated the Family Home Childcare Capacity Building Project (FHCCBP). This article presents the FHCCBP conceptual model, programs, strategies, and evaluation findings. (Contains 1 table.) (Author). |
