Finding Family Home Child Care
Family Home Child Care (FHCC) Agencies can help families find care in a regulated, home-like environment. FHCC Agencies support individual child care providers who operate early learning and care programs from their own homes.
To learn more about the family home child care options available in your community, contact your nearest FHCC Agency.
