Consistent with the Family Child Care Licensing Work Group’s view that licensing is part of their professional status, the Work Group has some recommendations that support the ongoing professionalism of the state’s licensing team and how state staff and the home-based provider community can work together during the entire life cycle of development, revision and implementation of licensing standards. Read the full recommendation report here:https://lnkd.in/e2NiPwmg #BuildingBelonging #ChildCare In this video, members of the Work Group share their experiences around these recommendations.

The recommendations around Monitoring and Enforcement stem from the unique situation of family child care providers who are working by themselves and do not have other staff on hand to support them and the children in their care during monitoring visits. These recommendations center on opportunities to strengthen the work before, during, and after routine monitoring visits, as well as, considerations for recording of monitoring visits.

In the third video, Language Access, providers share recommendations around the need for more multilingual support. A strength of child care providers who work from their homes is the variety of languages that they speak, with 19 percent primarily speaking a language other than English to the children and families they serve. For the licensing system to work in partnership with family child care, more work is needed to support bilingual and multilingual providers.

Licensing is critical infrastructure in the child care system: Through licensing, family child care providers are publicly recognized as child care professionals. In recognition of the important impact of state licensing policy and practice on family child care, Home Grown brought together its first-ever Family Child Care Licensing Work Group. The Work Group consisted of family child care professionals who convened regularly to develop Home Grown’s understanding of state licensing for family child care and develop recommendations for these systems. Building Belonging: Valuing Family Child Care via State Licensing Systems represents their work. This includes a full recommendation report, videos, and quick guides for state administrators. #childcare #familychildcare #licensing Read more: https://lnkd.in/e5ZKYX_b
