66. What's New At NAFCC quality child care. They tell parents that accreditation is a process, not just a onetime workshop. parents seem impressed by accredited providers commitment http://www.nafcc.org/tenreasons.html

Ten Reasons Why Family Child Care Providers Like Accreditation by Nancy Cohen, Families and Work Institute These reasons were suggested by accredited providers during interviews at Family-To Family Sites across the United States. The Family-to-Family Project is a seven-year initiative that is increasing the quality of family child care by supporting training, accreditation, and consumer education in 30 communities across the country. The Families and Work Institute is conducting an evaluation of the project. Providers Learn From the Process . All accredited providers, even those with years of experience and graduate degrees in early childhood education, say they learn from accreditation. They find that accreditation is not just a "seal of approval" of their current programs. Rather, accreditation gives them the opportunity to examine their homes and the way they interact with children, assuring that all the details are in place. Providers report that accreditation is an incentive for them to improve their programs. It gives them concrete goals toward which to work. It is like that as accreditation becomes more widespread, less experienced and less skilled providers will pursue it and will learn even more from the process. Increases Provider's Self-Esteem

NAFCC AND ACCREDITATION You can perform a search for accredited providers here, or by clicking on the link at the bottom of this page! The National Association for Family Child Care (NAFCC) is a national membership organization working with more than 400 state and local family child care provider associations across the United States. These groups represent more than one million family child care providers caring for more than four million children in the United States. Members of the NAFCC reside in every state, as well as in Canada and Japan. NAFCC was formed in 1982 with the help of the Children's Foundation, who recognized the need for a permanent, national voice for family child care. The first national NAFCC conference was held in Washington, DC in 1983. The mission of NAFCC is to support the profession of family child care and to encourage high-quality care for children. NAFCC has promoted high-quality family child care through accreditation, leadership training, technical assistance, public education, and policy initiatives. NAFCC holds an annual national conference and publishes a quarterly newsletter. NAFCC developed its first accreditation system in 1988. Ten years later, there were NAFCC-accredited family child care providers in 44 states and the District of Columbia. A 1995 study of accredited providers conducted by the Families and Work Institute confirmed that accreditation increases providers' professionalism and self-esteem, improves quality of care, and develops leadership skills. In communities that support family child care, accredited providers find opportunities for further professional development such as becoming a mentor to other providers, an Observer for NAFCC, or a trainer.

Overview Making the Right Decision One of the most important decisions you will ever make as a parent is choosing quality child care for your child. Every child is special and unique and deserves the best start possible. Studies reveal that a high quality child care program will help prepare a child for school readiness by increasing their chances to succeed.

The amount of the voucher will also vary based on the amount of care that is needed and the age of the child. Parents purchase care directly from providers. Their payment to the provider includes three parts: the POC voucher the parent's co-payment any additional payment necessary to cover the full cost of care.
