Each FHCC Agency creates opportunities for ECE and related learning designed around the interests and professional growth goals of regulated care providers. 

Virtual and in-person workshops, conferences, and other networking spaces give regulated child care providers access to up-to-date child care information and the chance to connect with others in their agency, other agencies, and the broader ECE sector. 

There are no fees to regulated FHCC providers for these opportunities.

Each FHCC agency houses a library of resources to supplement the materials a FHCC provider has in their program. Equipment such as cribs and highchairs can be borrowed and returned when no longer required. 

Books with specific topics and quality toys may be borrowed to meet the developing interests of the children. 

There are no fees for use of these services.
